You give me the time
Time to sit
Or lay
Time to breathe
Or gaze
Time to write
Grant you
The peace
Inside & outside
The window
Windows darken
Skies close
To naught but absence
Matisse draws the evening to a close
Bright sunshine
Mild frost
Rabbits in the field
Mist rises over the pond
Sweet damp grass
Fresh dew of the morning
Blueberries, yoghurt, muesli
Hot buttered toast
Mist drawn away
Blue sky reaches unbroken to the horizon
Trees appear at the head of the field
Am I to be
Any less troubled
Or how to stay calm
When friction is obvious
Strongly felt
Sunlight through my window
Look, over the pond
Swifts in flight
Be dazzled by their skylight dance
