Watching the shadows

Saturday 14th March 

Watching the shadows
Stretch and grow
Where I am going
I don't know

A silent wonder
And curious gaze
Through the green
Dappled sunlit maze

A gentle questioning
Does takes hold
A bigger story
Will yet unfold

Of innocuous things
Both near and far
Pondering beneath 
A rising star

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The threads of existence

Standard

Friday 13th March 

The threads of existence
Weave many tales untold
Of friendships and kindness
With warmth to unfold
In the cradle of being
Where worries drift free
The spirit finds solace
In light’s sweet harmony

Love you so much

Eleven years

Standard
Image
Thursday 12th March 

Eleven years
Since I held you tight
Eleven years
Since time switched off the light
Eleven years
Since I heard your voice
Eleven years
You had no choice
Eleven years
A sudden, unexpected blow
Eleven years
Didn't want to let you go

Eleven years ago
The clock stood still
Eleven years ago
Darkness came against your will
Eleven years ago
Cancer crept like a thief unseen
Eleven years ago
Stolen joy that life had been
Eleven years ago
I still search the skies
Eleven years ago
Looking for you in soft goodbyes

Eleven years lost
In a fight so unfair
Eleven years lost
The disease doesn't care
Eleven years lost
Yet the love remains
Eleven years lost
Through joys and pains
Eleven years lost
Leaving an empty space
Eleven years lost
I'll search for your face

Eleven years gone
But you're never away
Eleven years gone
In my heart you stay
Eleven years gone
We're forever entwined
Eleven years gone
Your love I will find
Eleven years gone
Though the world moved on
Eleven years gone
Your spirit brightens the dawn

Remembering Frank
On the day you became an angel
Eleven years ago
Love you and miss you, so, so much

The day passes slowly

Standard
Image
Wednesday 11th March 

The day passes slowly
In this light, sunny haze
Where memories linger
And the mind softly plays

With every small heartbeat
With every deep sigh
The moments, they cradle
The sun sinking nigh

There’s magic in twilight
In the dusk’s gentle hold
As time quietly whispers
Those secrets unfold

With the mist all around
The world feels so near
In the silence, we listen
For the echoes we hear

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

The branches twist

Standard

Tuesday 10th March 

The branches twist
Thoughts that intertwine
A beckoning of fate
A chance divine
What lies round the bend
Is yet to see
To trust the heart
Letting the spirit free

Love you so much

The water flows so slow

Standard

Monday 9th March 

The water flows so slow
Where sunlight likes to go

A silver ripple spreads
Beneath the willow heads

The swans drift soft and deep
Their quiet secrets keep

The current takes them by
Beneath a hazy sky

Thinking

Standard

Friday 6th March 

Thinking of dreams
Entwined with sense
What wisdom lies
Beyond the fence?

With each step firm
Fears to release
On winding trails
Finding peace

Though paths may twist 
Venturing bold
In every story
Truth does unfold

Love you so much
Precious sons
