When wild winds blow
whispering songs
for all to know
should you take a chance
with feet and dance
your cheeks are sure
to get a rosy glow

The beast of winter is raging
winds whipping my skin
feels oh so aging,
digging deep within
wisdom holds dear
I know don’t fear,
tis just natures way
of clearing.

In the depth of midwinter, above ground ghostly frozen in time.
Beneath, damp earth the seeds of life rest dormant safely asleep.
What secrets do they keep, timely nurturing sound and sweet.
Soon to stir beneath our feet. ~SM Nicol

Africa’s Unicorn
Iconic giants of grace, with
thundering feet of pace.
Your magical gentle face
risk haunting the humanrace.
Hunted for your horn
Those that care are heart torn.
Let the world hear, for our grandchildren we fear.
