A promise whirls wind
1 December 2015

The reeking trees bark
Whispers of life in fading
Airborne breath of leaves
Scattering sunrise
Hushed moments of late dewdrops
Wrestling with bubbles

A swarm of blackbirds
Heaved and fled for deception
Crows for nightingale

A promise whirls wind
Within howling desert scenes
That gathered tempests
Parched earth cracked a smile
Its hollow insides swept dry
The splintering rain

All the promises – Skye
