In the morning chill

fathers in holiday shorts

queue up for croissants

content in the knowledge that

their families aren’t up yet.

On the horizon

hugging the ocean surface

Curse

 

From this day forward

life will never be the same;

you are an adult.

Scorched

From the charred remains

green shoots will quickly emerge

the gorse will return.

In my idle mind

I’ve already departed

and am on my way.

Reaching for the stars

is as much as minions

can ever hope for.

Evening drift

 

Evening silence

interrupted only by

the roar of burners.

Rot

 

On the forest fringe

long decayed woody debris;

foundation for life.

No church bells ring here

joined in civil partnership

their happiest day.

Truth and reconciliation

 

Soon the storm will pass

and the blue skies will return

then we will have peace.
