Kathleen Jessie Raine Life Poems

Into the heart
What do you find there?
Fear, fear,
... - 2. The River
In my first sleep
I came to the river
And looked down
Through the clear water -
... - 3. Worry About Money
Wearing worry about money like a hair shirt
I lie down in my bed and wrestle with my angel.
My bank-manager could not sanction my continuance for another day
... - 4. Millenial Hymn To Lord Shiva
Earth no longer
hymns the Creator,
the seven days of wonder,
the Garden is over รข??
... - 5. Seed
From star to star, from sun and spring and leaf,
And almost audible flowers whose sound is silence,
And in the common meadows, springs the seed of life.
... - 6. In The Beck
There is a fish, that quivers in the pool,
itself a shadow, but its shadow, clear.
Catch it again and again, it still is there.
... - 7. Paradise Seed
Where is the seed
Of the tree felled,
Of the forest burned,
Or living root
... - 8. Change
Change
Said the sun to the moon,
You cannot stay.
