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
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.
