Then and now

 

Butterfly dreams in

Winter, I wonder how to

gaze once more in awe.

Long day

 

A weary train home

after an early start; I’m

utterly knackered.

Modesty

 

Give me the smallest

space and there I will try to

grow, untroubling.

  • with a nod to John Clare (I Am!) for the final word.

Melting glass

 

Explosive moment

that human time spans cannot

see; like melting glass.

Notice

 

Do you ever look,

I mean…really look, at the

beauty in the world?

Before light

 

Exchanging glances,

glassy eyes smile in the dark;

a friendly “hello”.

Abandoned

 

Long since forgotten,

neglected and unloved; your

ship will not come in.

Sunshine

 

The unforgiving

cruelty of Winter breaks

hearts with false promise.

Pink

 

Snooker’s six-point ball

an engine knock, hunting garb;

a versatile word.

Spring margins

 

Sheer cathedral walls

plunge deep underground, forcing

daffodils skywards.
