THE NIGHT WIND
.jpg)
The night wind idly stirs the sail,
Rigging begins to creak and wheeze,
And the lapping waves weave a tale
Of strange things brought in from the seas.
Wreathed in strange dreams, ancient and old,
The old abbey watches all, and sees
Stories unfold, secrets untold,
And strange things brought in from the seas.
The church seems far from the town below,
When dark shapes glide on the night breeze,
And folk here fear the long shadow
Of strange things brought in from the seas…

THE SHORTENING DAYS
As summer heat begins to wane,
On the air is a distant call,
That the seasons' wheel turns again,
And autumn's coming for us all.
Mist haunts crisp mornings and damp nights,
Gold leaves are beginning to fall,
Time for bonfires and candle-lights,
As autumn's coming for us all.
Short days turn us all into ghosts,
The woman in the faded shawl,
The thin man between the lamp posts,
When autumn's coming for us all.
Faint voices whisper on the breeze,
Shadows creeping across a wall,
Pale shapes flit among the dead trees,
For autumn's coming for us all.
Painting - Autumn Morning by John Atkinson Grimshaw
