Day rising
Sun wakens
Sky gets busy
Painting clouds
Northerly winds
Defer to gentle
Southern breezes
Dew hastens away
Grass becomes sprightly
Little birds learn their songs
Are you awake? Are you aware?
Can you hear?

A Scented Recollection
I’m not too fond of roses
but I have a memory
of the pale pink kind
growing near our kitchen door
and how, on a summer evening
when I took the dog out for
his last pee of the day
that pale pink scent would creep,
wisp-like, around the gable end,
carried on a soft breeze,
and enfold me; and it seemed
in the stillness of that moment,
that a corner of my heart
would be filled
with a sense of peace
Whom We Meet
of long nights
the emerging light.

is it crass to ask
can spring end this dark winter
long with light and joy
doctor’s surgery
winter bare branches
dance to the cold wind and hail
patients looking out
morning after
night and frost give way
sunrise sky turquoise and gold
over the rooftops
november moment
late november
the early morning
fog clears, leaves frosted pavements
with trees black and bare
autumn illusion
like swirling snowflakes
watched through bedroom net curtains
wind and leaves at play

short november days,
smells of slow cooked oven meals:
sunshine on wet streets
