Windswept

by Colin Oliver
(1946 - ) Timeline

Original Language
English
Secular or Eclectic
Yoga / Hindu : Advaita / Non-Dualist
Contemporary

No shelter for my windswept face.
The shaking seeds
of the lime are wrapped in leaves.
The streetlight is ringed with filigree.
But I am lost, like the hill
darkened to sky,
irresistibly oned with night.
