Cumulative Snowflakes
Shall strength be found in most fragile of flakes
That melt before the heat of angry rays
Disappear, dissolve, in fierce seas and lakes
Can one alone halt traffic on highways
Can that delicate drop precipitate
A fall of snow that fills the chasm’s void
Though uniquely formed it has no great weight
Singularly, too easily destroyed
Crystallised cohesion in pearlised chains
Strengthened beauty around the nuclei
Forging links, formed from irritating grains
Precious snowflakes blind disbelieving eyes
On collision course with an avalanche!
Accumulated pressure shall advance!
Tribune On The Wind
He visits all gables and rooftops
Into eaves and crannies he peers
Howls distress in his shudders
Wandering wind, sighing seer
He carries, while travelling, directions
What he’s seen, what he knows, what he’s heard
Disseminates news from his journeys
Journals with nary a word
He speaks in a language of knowing
Sailing seas, over mountains, through glens
Alone, through deserted plains, cities
Sharing the stories of men
He speaks in wild wails and soft soughing
How he aches with his burdens and groans
Measures his timbre and tempo
In restlessness, rages and moans
All of nature believe what he brings them
Stationary sentinels await his return
Correspondence, fact-checked, his findings
All access reportage for one
He’s been to restricted quarters
To the seats of all governance
To the palaces, shacks, huts and hovels
He’s been to them all more than once
He’s spied and he’s sighed at what seen there
He lifts it all, transports it forth
Daily news, incoming, in whistles
Tribune East, South, West and North
Awaken, Evolve, Change
Arise, awake from dreamer’s slumber
What ails you as you lie too long beneath the stars
A ready world awaiting your contribution
Keening its lament at your absence
Even now hopeful you will come
Never yet believing you would resist
Ere long, diminished days and nights will call
Voices drawing home to sleep forever yonder
Overcome suspended animation and
Live as only beating hearts know how
Vying for the marrow in your core
Ever evolving
Changing, yes, before widened eyes
Healing what was once the fatal wound of conflict
Altering the course and meaning of time’s
Nuanced reckonings through fleeting passage
Graduating by mercurial turns to its crescendo
Ever beautiful in vitality as still it calls, come

For actions with intent
Open to the seasons’

Calling on the strength of

Sanguine
Pallor hid his existential crisis,
Vital fluid, blood, had made no track,
Heaved a massive sigh and shrugged, nonchalant,
Sanguinity made up for what was lacked.
