Languages Sandy Tones

With Such Astute Perception
You Wield With Such Care
This Parched Believer
Sups Your Silver Air

An Image Slowly Forming
From Periphery To Core
And If You Tried To Grasp It
The Vapour There Would Swirl
Holding Still Anticipation
Lest Clumsy Breeze Disturb

And When I Close My Eyes
I See Your Paintings
On My Computer Screen

They Seem To Me Like Homage
To Human Frailty
Your Elongated Figures
Wear Their Quirks With Dignity
In The Textures Of Your Beauty
Your Paintings Just Affirm

With Such Astute Perception
You Wield With Such Care
This Parched Believer
Sups Your Silver Air

The Tyranny Of Distance
The Tyranny of One
My Mists Are Swirling Sombre
While We Are Having Fun

And Melancholy Natural
The Need To Breathe In Smog

And Celebrate The Green Eyed Monster
In Envy And Delight
To You So many Givens
New Stars Are Shining Bright

Deliberate
Deliberate
Deliberation
You Dip your Toe
Into The Universe Below

And When I Close My Eyes
I See Your Paintings
On My Computer Screen

The Tempests Fury
Dwarfs And Buffets All Your Care
Your Little Ship Is Sailing
The Wild Sea Despair
A Beacon In The Distance
You Have To Strain To See
This Little Boat Needs Rescue
Hope Not Futility

And Clearly Drawn Conflictions
Navigate In Grace
All Those Separate Feelings
Given Subtlety And Space




With Such Astute Perception
You Wield With Such Care
This Parched Believer
Sups Your Silver Air

This Parched Believer
Sups Your Silver Air
