Keeping Going

About turn

Towards symmetry

Away from

Discord and authority

Getting Going

Shrouded by the mist of the green

The curious case

Of parcels arriving

Such are the wonders of rising early

In the light of the soft glow

Overheard communications

Each and every which way

Acknowledge the beauty of keeping in touch

There is a box in the shed

With a name I ought to know

I will go investigate shortly

But for now I aim to simply sit

Sit in that new found freedom

Not known for quite a long while

Such is this love of the time

To appreciate the arrival of morning

Why, Or WhyWhinge

You may soon be rising

You may have risen already

Either way let us hope

Your day welcomes you

With open arms

I myself am closing down

Listening to dark time music

Catching me with its chasms

You may soon be leaving

You may have left already

This or that, let it be

Soul and spirit

Activate mind and body

This moving-on lark

It is a tiresome old affair

Whichever way I look at it

Available at Amazon

Settling In

There is no TV screen

Just as 

Wendell Berry would wish it

There is a radio

Which thus far has been restricted

To Radio 3

Not that I’m a classical man

No it was Pink Floyd

Who introduced me to long playing records

The welcome card suggests

That these are exciting times

With new adventures ahead

That’s it for now

Two rooms upstairs

Bedroom and Study

I haven’t yet

Spent much time

In the study

I have though

Been rather longer

In the sitting room

Which looks out

Onto the green

It is where I start my day

With meditation

Also on the laptop

Updating my details

The fireplace

So I am told

Is like my younger brother’s

Mother-in-laws

But mine for now is adorned

With my Buddha
