Senior Moment


In this quiet time
waiting for the cobwebs
listening to the inner ear
and all our sonic reflections

Watching the winter tree waft
around in the tip-toe breeze
all is grey, grey, or should I
lighten the mood and say
not grey, but silver

But still it is a quiet time
Is it quiet with you?
I imagine you in a cottage
with an open fire, or in
a maisonette with art deco
surroundings

Wherever you are
take from  this moment of peace,
settle with your own cobwebs
listen to your inner ear
let’s try one more time to balance
