Jinge Norvall Poems

The surface is calm, smooth and glassy,
Beauty reflected therein
An occasional ripple, or eddy,
Betrays the stillness and calm
...

He shivers in the morning dew,
Blanket and shirt cast aside
Like the dawn shrugging off
The dark, lonely night.
...

Soft in limb & bland in face,
Sally the rag doll knew her place..
Doctor or nurse, teacher for a day -
Sally the rag doll knew how to play!
...

A garden majestic in grandeur,
Hewn from rock and stone, her pillared plinths
Like sentinels amidst
The granite domes
...

The playful fire dances
Amber-red, flourescent-green,
Flinging impish sparkles
At imperious, distant stars,
...

When you're in the world
And you're all backslid
There's a wall you won't
get through
...

Is there anyone who can hold me
Without ever letting go
Or one who can uplift me
When my life has sunk too low
...

Twas Jack Frost
Who held the land
In his grip of ice and snow
And the poor ones shuddered
...

I am molten lava
melting rock, fossilizing flowers
solidifying in brisk breezes
till my heart is cold
...

Like
New rain
On old dry dirt
and newborn lambs
...
