Gillena Cox Poems

The sun rose one morning,
And bellowed to a cloud;

Did you hear him?
...

By midday the sun’s scorching might
Penetrates the hapless
Tiniest worth of life in sight
Sustaining nonetheless
...

I never lied to you;
Now and forever
my love remains true
...

From the earth was fashioned,
From the likeness of God, the man;

And the breath of life,
...

Yesterday, i gasped at the sunset
in a newness of awe
i never before experienced;
that which seemingly occurred
...

In those days when love chilled me
like a winter's dream,
I should have stolen kisses from the moon
Instead of penning blues like harpist or bassist
...

Said love to me one day,
'Hi, how are you?
But, alas! he spoke sadly
I must move away
...

Its Monday morning;
My hands sense the warmth,
From a flower patterned teacup;
I walk out to the garden,
...

Of the rain the Word has said
To us he giveth in due season
And in the Word i also read
Of his might and of his reason
...

Hail Olympia mount of seers
The endurance of muscle and spittle
All for a kiss and a flower wears
Strength of nations exposition-ing
...
