liminal line
clouds float over mirrored sand
spun cotton candy
Running in the slow lane

liminal line
clouds float over mirrored sand
spun cotton candy
A veil
Between the sky and moorland line
An ephemeral
Ever changing hue
of soft pinks and cream
Touches the earth
with a gentleness
Of morning which
So rarely seen
Belying the complexity
we’ve seen
The rising sun
Dispels the cloud
See what a morning
Perfect and true.

A world in monochrome;
The moorland uplands stolen to the mist;
There’s a chill in the air.
British summertime;
Official stance,
but to achromatic striation
The skies return
In a blanket of grey
And intermittent rain.
My world needs light;
Merge pascal flame
And joyful song-
Somehow.
For this is how-
Somehow
The wrath of God
to God of love
Transformed and satisfied
Casts the shroud
Dispels the dark
Filling the void with
Easter light.
There’s no going back
To smooth shape- shifting sand
The ebb and flow
A Light- hung shore
There’s no going back
To the transient haze
The stillness of morning
Winter’s light
There’s no going back
The moment is gone
Captured by lens
The now became then
There’s no going back
Blank canvas to start
Broad stroke of the brush
Shape- shifting line
There’s no going back
There is in my mind
Start over again
Memories are mine.

When winter casts her mantle
And shrouds the weakest sun
Trees with filigreed branches
Silhouette the barest ground
A pinkish -grey envelopes
Cloud hangs thick beneath.

Lost in the hypnotic
Scented essence
A lengthened wick
Flickers high
Drift into the warmth
Comfort wraps
A soft spun glow
Tapers slow
Dream over thoughts
Softened and still
Night subdues day
Hopes return.


To cheer a dreary day.

I was drawn to this view – the perspective , the vanishing lines and the light.
A winding staircase
Tread
A darkened step
A sunken dish
Misshapen
Smooth and worn
By boots
Unseen
Light shards
That dance
Like arrows
Bowed
As dust motes
Spiral
In the miasmatic
Air
Ascendent climb
To lungs release
To drink the view
Held aloft

Rain percolates
Through the glass
Each drop
Like resin
Distilled
To trickle down
The pane
A fusion
Each bead
Embracing
Until
The obscured
Becomes clear
Once more
And all is
Obsidian
As night returns.
