The Field-Watcher When in the shadows of the passing day A seat is found, asleep in calm Soundness, as activity of the mind Cease, and the slow and wavy dreams Of reality vanish by timeless Art, he who observes the secrets Of the fast-forgotten world finds purpose Insensible to sleep, remnant Of future life. The fullness of the stars Softly infuse the distant sky With rays of obscure light, the horizon Ever holds the dawn in glimmer. Douglas Thornton 2018
March 4th, 2015 There was a swoop in the air and, thinking it the wind, noticed a flock of song-birds passing over. It is strange to wonder then, how many times we may say something with one intention in mind, but provide suitable ground for other unconscious actions. When the birds pass, they do not think they are the wind, nor even birds. Douglas Thornton
