POETRY 6 POETRY COMPETITIONCONTENDERSWRITING WITH LIGHTA shadow in a shadow in my eye,A shimmer on the edges of mysight,Quiet colour in the palette of thesky,Spirits which suffuse and are notbright,Sparse images be signs to mark the wayFor silent powers to infiltrate andburnFor fascinating ghosts to illustrateThe threads which crowdedsurfaces inter.Discern, discriminate and thendiscardGlare to draw lucidity from lightBy speaking sparely in myphotographs
 
About the numina of dark andlight.Irridescent animalia gleamIn darkness and illumine dark inme.THE JOURNEY - I, the father, you, the son,Through man's small soul,A needle's hole,The journey to each other hasbegun.- Into an empty room I am become,Announced, anointed, prophesied,To walk in desert, death beside,I, the world, and you, the sun.- Be worldly, otherworldly boy.Be lithe, be blithe, beloved son.Be grave, be graceful as you runAcross rocks to Calvary- I have run into tomorrow.Passion rises like a tide
 
And Death rises with a rhythmicstride.Father, be near me now.- Be quick, be still, be overcome,Being still forever runAcross the world into the sun.The journey to each other hasbegun.STALINGRAD SNIPERThis city has the name of the boss,Steel city, iron cross.Myself alone, a living rock,Unstringing Germans shot by shot.Steel city, wire rope.Who enters here abandons hope.God's bureaucrats are in my scope.How many divisions has the pope?A quick quietus as they hear meIs my gift if they come near me.They cannot touch me and revereme.Let them hate me if they fear me.
