cloudy
invisibilty cloak
hides hilltop tower
silent memories and dreams
secrecy

torn
winter gazebo
faded colours flapping
summer memories wind blown

Today the colour of my life

blends into a fuzzy mess

where I find the fog

that often blends us

into a over used palette.

A long soak should recover

both the palette and I.

I need familiarity.
Is this a health matter
or age related ?
The places of ‘home’
wrap their arms around me
as soon as I enter.
Maybe it’s a winter thing.
Will I spread my wings
when spring pushes through
and I pass another
day of continuation ?

after the storm
light in an upturned shell-
is anybody home

my soul skates
with Dimitri Shostakovitch..
longing to be young

. Sea

. rolling riding
. waves enchroaching
. splashing foaming
. swallowing the beach
.
. rushing curling
. power unleashed
. wild relentless
. beneath the setting sun
.
. tumbling spilling
. momentum continuity
. threat protection
. following the moon

Sunday afternoon
generational catchup
where love and acceptance bide

tinsel
teased away
fairy lights
reboxed
—
the tree
released to
fresh air and rain
