My Two Loves

           by Wendy Freebourne

           In each hand
           I hold
           A sphere of shining gold. Wendy Freebourne - Poetry

           One crumbles into dust
           And the other becomes
           A blossom.

           Deep scarlet
           Changing into orange,
           Which becomes
           Yellow as the sun,
           Its petals opening
           As hands in prayer;
           The palest silvery light
           Changing into purest white.

           It turns into a dove
           And flies away.

           Published in National Poetry Anthology, Bright Voices, 2003
