     Fires Forgiveness

Fires burning fingers three
Temptation lustfully chasing me.
Spared the snare of fates reward;
Love laced Grace replaced the sword.

Freedoms chains embracing death;
Lost love speaks in quiet breath.
Motionless searching; darkness found.
Loves strength heard forgiveness sound!

Bonus Poem:

Late Spring

The moon drained white by day

lifts from the hill

where the old pear-tree fallen in storm

springs up in blossom still.


Women believe in the moon:

this branch I hold

is not more white and still than she

whose flower is ages old,


and so I carry home

flowers from the pear

that makes such obstinate tokens still

for fruit it cannot bear.

-       Judith Wright
