Universe

Out of the darkness

a billion billion

stars; pin-prick night lights.

True

 

I have a problem

with authority figures

I’m not a ‘yes man’

I think my integrity

too often gets in the way.

Big mouth

.

Outspoken values

and passionate conviction

my Achilles heel.

Dependent

 

Horrible wet day;

sustenance and life, I must

learn to love the rain.

Lucky charm

 

One…two…five…seven…

nine goldfinches together

in our silver birch.

Extraordinary comfort

Saturday haircut

in the Arches Barbershop;

‘me time’ tradition.

Renewal

 

Deep winter decay

from which all life emerges;

faintest hint of spring.

Easy to forget

 

Exquisite beauty

I see it all around me;

a wonderful world.

Dog day

 

Let sleeping dogs lie

no cat nap for the canine;

totally crashed out.

School rules

 

Hands out of pockets

walk no more than two abreast;

it wouldn’t wash now.

Composed while walking to work on a very chilly morning and feeling uncomfortable putting my hands in my pockets, because of the school rules imposed/imprinted on me at a young age.
