My Haven Gentle my heart with your love Lull away my fears with your smile Rock me to sleep in your arms Let there he peace for awhile For the day has been dark and dismal And the people have rained on my dreams Independence dissolved in the downpour Self respect a dank, flowing stream So use your arms as a shelter Be my tree in the storm Draw me under your body And there let me find warmth Stephanie Harkness Kelrc I, s CREATIONS 27

On Cralle Plantation The first of March winds blow in ragged waves And roll across the broad mud-water pond. The shadows cast from leaf lonely trees like wands; Their spell demands a silence that I crave While warm weather's release apace shall stave A moment more my musing's march beyond— Into the year when man and girl their bond They wove. On Cralle, enchantment borne enslaves. My horse, impatient, pulls his reins, but I Cannot shake myself free and, again Astray, my thoughts regress. The couple's plight Began the second spring. The clouded sky Restrains the warmth without: I shiver when The sun hastily hides. The winds now bitter, bite. Audrey Cowgill 28 CREATIONS
