Half Ellipse

On the road, good and early
Through the morning light
Thoughts of the weekend
Mind drifting to vacation

Simplicity of one bright day
Energy to give energy
Life to give life
Love to give love

To enter a silence
A calm, of sorts
Wanting to be doing
Yet not knowing what to do

Available on Kindle

Infinitely

From that opening
The chasm
With cracks around the edges

There was an outpouring
Or a way in
To a galaxy of stars

As if the mind itself
Was asking to be explored
Sung in tune with inner visions

Singing, welcome, welcome
That we might vibrate
Into your universe

Available on Kindle

La Victoria, La La La

Silhouette, is that how they spell it
A range of mountains across the water
From our dinner-table
A foreshore, over there, with lights strung up

We had Paella, after starters
We had  wine, before after-dinner drinks
We listened to the  cicada's
And prepared ourselves, for mosquitoes

AM St Salvador

I am warm
Sat in the quiet common room
We have no plans
Except the pleasure of your birthday

Already we have been to church
Looked in on the nativity scenes
Compared the gift shop
To something from Father Ted

You tell me it is due to rain, I reply
But it isn't raining now
And they will only be showers
Not like the real rain back home

Windolene

Into that sunlight of idleness
No need to stretch ourselves
Before and behind our eyelids
Time just to be
Time just to be

On to those flickers of dustiness
No need to clear ourselves
Ahead and across our vision
Speckles to see
Speckles to see
