A few of the poems from "Sylvan Dreaming":

Wanderlust
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy
The warmth and safety of

Home and hearth,
But sometimes
When the rain falls

And all else is quiet
I dream of traveling
To places far beyond
The borders.
To other places, other worlds,
The worlds within my dreams.

 

Foal

(For a friend)

Little filly

Run like wind

Faster than the colts.

Shining golden

Dappled fur

Glows in the

Morning light.

Eyes of blue

And sky of blue

Leopard wants

To touch the sky.

Springing high

Above the ground,

Horse-child

Can you fly?

Flier

Soft silver moon,

Black velvet night,

Sky speckled with starlight.

She flies,

Her great wings spread-

Shining silver tinged with gold,

Her feathers sparkling, glinting

When moonlight touches them.

Scales glisten, shine

In starlight, moonlight.

The sound of pack-song far below-

She banks, dives.

Wolves move aside

From the stone where they gathered,

Continue their howls.

She lands,

Her mane glitters

Like dewdrops on spiderwebs.

Circling wolves’ howls

Strengthen her

Even as she rests

From her long journey.

Pups climb along her rough back,

Between her spikes.

The smallest, at her head

Chews her antler-tips

But she does not mind.

Sky-blue eyes glow,

She wraps her long shimmering tail

About her, feathers and spines lay flat.

Her leaf-like tail-tip covers up her face.

Curved, sharp claws now sheathed,

Paws curled beneath her body,

Great wings folded over her back,

She softly trills like a bird,

Calming the pups.

Scale and feather,

Claw and antler,

Talon wrapped pearl,

Silver blue eyes

All start to glow,

Making the wolves’ pelts shine

With the softness

Of moonglow.
