Allotment time

Here my breathing slows

until no air passes through;

place and mind are one.

I sat in this overgrown corner of my allotment doing a butterfly survey this afternoon. My heart rate slowed and I caught myself not even breathing. So calm and peaceful.

19. Flutter by

A calm Summer morn’

punctuated only by

a passing comma.

28/30 Warm

A sun-warmed apple.

Pausing for a brief moment

before flitting off.

3/30 Speckled Wood

On the face of it,

plain; but take a closer look…

beautiful patterns.

A butterfly comes

We all gaze on in wonder

Iridescent wings
