just the ebb and flow

word made flesh
the birth of silence
echoes still

beach-combing
a child washes away
from her death

moon-lashed sea
no more what it seems
in stillness

deep-down dark
the burden of self
yet to die

daughter buffalo
I too would die
to words

in the gap
between breath and touch
all is hush

see these wounds –
God's creating word
in the flesh

silent night –
a divine sadness
to be borne

here we drown
consciousness-stricken
with our words

oh the joy
dust from the big bang
in my lungs too

midsummer night
the moon hangs about
like a suicide

heaven-sent . . .
vernix enfolds the word
whispered in doubt

my heartbeat
on mesolithic time
once more

advent silence
speaking our language

open hand . . .
her call curls out from
the unheard

who am I?
a waft of waves
stills my breath

Stephen Bailey
awake again . . .
has dawn recreated
the am I was?

still us –
sounds aflutter
enter the light
Details
Written by:
Stephen Bailey
dead silence . . .
an ancestral wisdom
in so few words
Details

still life . . .
all my colours
from dusk
Details

Stephen Bailey
breath stop
between life
and death

sky-opening
my eyes upon the light
an oak concealed
Details

with age
the deepening pallor
of the moon

night falls on
night falling on
a dark sea

grave silence –
a distant fantail
barely heard

with the moon
Kapiti out to sea
nothing else

Stephen Bailey
midnight hunt . . .
every pulse pledged
to the prey
Details
Written by:
Stephen Bailey
ceaseless stars . . .
no end in sight
for the pathos
