‘What do these beast like trees know…’ a first draft poem by S Francis

Stunning writing from Steve Fuller

Fullbeard Lit

What do these beast like trees know of me
I stare at them like they are veins transporting
The blood of earth back up to god, their naked flesh
Lingering through winter. Don’t we all
Become this? Don’t we all, at times,
Have to strip off our costumes to
To stand naked in the cold, let the sky
Dress us in white like a bride to be
Betrothed to the self we left at the foot
Of the tree as we climbed so high we
Could do nothing but fall? Aren’t we all
Just waiting for spring to punch through
Buds to cast a new bloom spilling color?

Beyond the Waving Grass- Michael Erickson

Gorgeous poetry from Michael Erickson

Go Dog Go Café

Trace a silent line of beating wings,

Beyond an edge of this road ahead.

There I will stand before a grass sea,

Waiting to take you gently by a hand.

But only when the lines of time,

Have traced your face with worn care.

Let our hair be as silver-gray as a winter sky,

And our bodies as tired as snow weathered hills.

I will wait upon a last whispered breath,

To find you held tight in my arms again.

Surpassing each end of every road,

To a place where tears cease to flow.

There with yellowing grasses wave,

Upon the edge of this world will I stand.

Michael is a husband, father, writer, poet, and aspiring author. He finds time to scribble down his thoughts in the dead of night, between ghosts and night owls. If you’d like to read more of his poetry follow the linkhere…
