SONNET For Owen Micklefield by Dh. Dhruvasimha
As I slept last night the wind backed round
And drove as ragged flocks of sodden sheep
The grey columnar walls of leaden cloud
And flung them all along the hills of Fife.
Now the Linn is shouting as if filled
With belling stags, gorged with life.
By degrees the foxgloves lift their heads
And urgent fledglings with drowned moths are fed.
I'd resolved to keep you in my sight,
But distraction took me - a mound
Of moss that for a fairy king might
Be a throne. I drifted in a haze
Of light, back to the house to learn that
In the night you had moved your shining tents elsewhere.
Dhruvasimha lives in Whitby and leads a study group at the Leeds Buddhist Centre
