Array ( [sid] => 38613 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Ochre [time] => 2004-03-14 17:24:08 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The colour Ochre is a spirit of the past that will not be denied
It is sunlight walking across the back porch floor
And it is warm, red mornings.

Ochre is the colour of ancient myths
Hearing voices echoing from the past

You can smell the colour Ochre
It smells of ripe olives and warm, dry air.

Ochre is a small flame
Barely fluttering on a windless night

Ochre is dolphins leaping at sunrise
Moving north along the coast of Africa

Ochre is a redwing blackbird
Sitting on a fence
And it is the wild, magnificent animal that is you
Watching the rain and remembering
Old winds you have been riding forever.

The colour Ochre is a spirit of the past that will not be denied
It is sunlight walking across the back porch floor
And it is warm, red mornings.

Ochre is the colour of ancient myths
Hearing voices echoing from the past

You can smell the colour Ochre
It smells of ripe olives and warm, dry air.

Ochre is a small flame
Barely fluttering on a windless night

Ochre is dolphins leaping at sunrise
Moving north along the coast of Africa

Ochre is a redwing blackbird
Sitting on a fence
And it is the wild, magnificent animal that is you
Watching the rain and remembering
Old winds you have been riding forever.

Hmmmm, this feels very comfortable. Like a second skin. Maybe I was ochre previously??

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
