A page of Shelley
brightens and dims
with passing clouds

Already
You have ably assisted
To help me make the first mark
On the blank page
Being so easy to impress
Almost without thought
I looked to copy your words
And so I moved to my bookshelf
Yet, instead of taking a book
My memory took me fifteen years back
To the old vicarage cottage
Which was my B&B for a while
It was safe, secure
A restful place
Where, of an evening
I would often read of the Victorian poets
haiku mind
108 poems to
cultivate awareness
& open your heart
is by Patricia Donegan
