Time-Less

Peaceful

Calm

Serene

Morning sunlight

Onto and through

Autumn’s leaves


Light

Easy

Without weight

Gentle breeze

Blue sky

Occasional clouds


Energising

Thought-provoking

Life fulfilling

To sit

To write

To become the poet

Ad-Venture

You are not here

Nor ever have been

Though in truth

That other truth

You are never too too far away


Very many rearrangements

In this space

Which will be missed

Whenever you try

To reshape or revamp the future


Why give up

The gifts

Of the garden

Why expel yourself

To the downsized slides of life

Morning Dutiful

Take the sunlight

Into your

Into your

Into your

Diminished returns


Leaf, flower, pane of glass

Soak up

Soak up

Soak up

The photosynthesis


Shadows

Steady and moving

Steady and moving

Steady and moving

Signifiers of life being lived


Leather bag

Worn at the corners

Worn at the corners

Worn at the corners

As also is the poet

Absent Mindful

So so late

Too too untidy with life

Yet love still flickers

Aware, fully, of its absence


Say it again why don’t you

For all of those first-times

Wherever, whenever

Aware, almost, that they have gone


He sweeps the dirt

From the flagstones

Just as he carved terraces

Into the hillside garden

Change

You left

Without saying goodbye

But you took

My washing off the line

I guess in case it rained


Is it the sunlight

Or is it the flowers

Is it the frost

Or is it the dew
