Striving for balance in these uncertain times with a 3rd invisible element that seems to be teaching us a lesson on priorities, life, and nature.
An inclusive independent journal with a focus on literature & art
Dusk to Dusk
poem by Bernard Pearson
A bat unwinds like a clockwork toy
Night arrives a little early
As might a bride, with doubts.
It is August tomorrow,
more a worry than a help.
From winter’s womb
Fresh day is spawned.
Thrust from old loins
New life has dawned.
Snow drops seep
From salt petered ground
While birds in swing-time,
Discover sound.
