Love Poem: Orbuculum

Written by: Bruce Coates

Orbuculum

Some moments are phantoms
Disappearing swiftly without a sound
Inaudible traces
In colourless, restless surround

Others are goddesses
Wise and beautiful reminders of light
Subtle, sweet graces
Of all the grandeurs of life

A few are glass mirrors
Seemingly stable with reflective hues
Until the dust of time, quiet, settles
Both obscuring and revealing what's true
