Solitude In The Woods

written by: Gayl Wright

@GaylWright

A sudden light broke
Warm as mid-summer
Wonderful, dazzling moment
Golden morning
Her heart fluttered
Never forgetting
Solitude in the woods
Lunch in a basket

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
