Victoria Park, Truro


from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Where stress is eased from worried frowns
and songbirds pluck a vibrant cord
amongst the never-ending spruce

friendly robins trek in noisy disarray
as happy sounds upon the eve exude,
soft shadows quietly arouse a
velvet trail

and boundless energy withdraws for rest
to hear, to love, to smooth
the sounds within.
