advancing through the tree tops

cackles on the wing

I long for those dunes

eyes shut and buzzing insects

in the distance, waves

Daily discipline

a moment of mindfulness

blocking out the noise

Reward

The day’s work is done

tea and biscuits round it off

TV with the dog

Peace lily

Dust-covered hero

a survivor of neglect

thrives in the corner

Shopping list missed

Three times forgotten

coriander on the shelf

got there in the end

Nightfall

All too fast night’s cloak

smothers the day we cling to

a tortured twilight

Lost and found

Could I find the thing

could I heck despite looking

of course, she found it

It will pass

On the horizon

a speck of hope, of after.

Better days ahead

Flames

Leaf fall in full flow

the cool embers of autumn

transform into flames
