The First 30: Day 13

he is the quiet force
settling on our lives

as the diamond
sounds of night

cut the horses
from our dreams

    I love the simplicity and the elegance of this poem; and yet powerfully emotive.

  2. Oh I am loving these verses engendered by him…I wonder what he will say about these when he begins his on writing.

  3. Love turning this one around and around in my head!

  4. smiles…my first daughter was no quiet force…she was a rocket with the voice of a sirene…haha… already 13 days old your boy..wow…beauty..

  5. so exquisite it brought a tear to my eye graham

  6. This is wonderful, although having horses cut from dreams seems like a powerful cutting that could change the universe.

  7. He is the net trawling
    your ocean floor

    as current strengthens
    silver-scale flashes

    catch him waiting
    for the morning tide.
