"In the tree, a careless sound
of fallen bird upon the ground.
Mother absent, the infant lies,
laying sweetly, it learned to fly."
— Melissa Jacques-Durston

'A candle flame, a quivering light
in airless halls where whispers sleep
and moonbeams peer through broken panes
where cobwebs cover lonely portraits
vacant eyes and lips silenced by dust
colours long since muted
like the voices from the past,
where shadows search for human form
between the now and then, this Neverland.'

Beverley Lee - Where Whispers Sleep
