Joy by Dixie MacUisdin Oh, what indescribable joy it brings, When flowers burst forth in the spring. Their laughing heads and smiling eyes Are Nature's joie de vie personified. |
My Far Away Nearby
by Dixie MacUisdin
My body seems anchored here
But you are far away
In a place I do not know
If I will ever see you again
If I close my eyes
And let my mind be free
I can pull you through the time
Here, back close to me
If I dare, I can imagine
Things that might have been
And in my thoughts, you become
My far away nearby

If I dare, I can imagine
Things that might have been
And in my thoughts, you become
My far away nearby
Lit by the Fire Sun
by Dixie MacUisdin
At dawn I walked the border road
And looked across the velvet greens
Towards the stand of wild firs
And one lone flaming tree.
JOINING
by AY Dorsey
Remember the night you woke and told me your dream?
You went to the beach: my bones were there, gathered at the waters edge,
the skin covering them incidental.
You said my hair ran down my face like rivers sweeping around stone eyes.
You held me close to warm me.
I dreamed that night too:
You were in the forest.
Moss fingers brushed my ankle.
I turned and saw you alone.
Gathered you in.
Sang to you of the sea.
ONE THING by Dixie MacUisdin when I think about the spring my eye is drawn to one small thing one small thing can put out roots and rise to stand upon the earth bold and strong with arms outstretched which lead to green and pink pink that blossoms, bursting forth to fall upon the earth and when the summer colours cool reveals a small new thing |
