When Time Stands Still
When Time Stands Still It is still early as the sun has barely broken the dawnSky, a pale yellow-grey and dew clings tightly to the grassThe early bird yet to waken and give us his morning songA blanket of silence comforting and welcomePrecious solitude invaluable before facing the dayIt is in these moments that timeContinue reading “When Time Stands Still”

At First Light
At First Light At first light the rolling fog Sits perched just above the tide Hovering, unmoved by the sea below A tiny crab disappears into its hidey hole in the sand Shells scattered like confetti waiting to be bleached by the morning sun, yet to show its face Mine the only footprints to markContinue reading “At First Light”
Time To Let Go – A Sonnet
Time To Let Go As I walk these streets in the rain My eyes blinded with salty tears I wonder if I’ll come here again Maybe not for many more years Painful return to a place of sadness Once it held my heart and soul Now the memories are only badness Being back here hasContinue reading “Time To Let Go – A Sonnet”
