Augury
Waking to see autumn's lustre
lit on my beech
rust leaves gilt glowing
red gold bathed by
a rising sun's first grasp
of day.
Turning to see gold amber cirrus
low light the east -
beneath a darker grey purple
cloud bruise
that golden gleam of
dawning dawn.
So my sad grey purple dreams
dawn dim
their dark ghosts disconnect ...

Fight! Fight!
The magpies
nesting in the beech

angry

in their tree
Attracted
like bad boys in the playground
more magpies

hopping from branch to branch
a harsh chatter
of anger
The squirrel
preferring a quiet life
left
by way of my garden
wall
Today the tree is silent

a far cuckoo calls all walkers home

In the mystic quiet of a leafy dome
of grey bark ash, beech and mighty oak
a far cuckoo calls the dryads home
but we pass unseen by woodland folk

Beech Tree (lyric)
Beech tree save breeze for me
Hideaway for highwaymen
high above broken ground
stealing souls
of maiden's hearts
Soaked in rain was my way
now blue skies do the same
sunny days
- are all the same
Walk away the tunnel way
to Highgate Hill and down again
find your mates
have your share
Hidaway for you and me
I wish we were born to be
