One with wool to knit.

I often see you in the clouds
Contentedly – I smile out loud
Speak with you – you answer me
Not in words that I can see.

But I know – you are there
Openly that love you share
You answer me in subtle ways
You balance out my days.

Thankfully – you are happy now
You’ve earned your time to sit
One with tobacco – pipe in hand
One with wool to knit.

You’re not the fool.

It’s so easy to lose track
Falling through that social crack
Society creates its norms
Carving cutouts to perform.

Anonymous now-you must feel
Stand alone-you don’t appeal
Try not worry-you’ll find that gate
Your differences to celebrate.

Remember always that you matter
Confidence may sometimes shatter
Arrogance makes people cruel
Just remember, you’re not the fool.

Shining a light on kindness

Kindness is invisible
To those who cannot see
Simple acts in silence
Turning of a key.

Open up a doorway
A light is shining in
Small steps into a future
Believing you can win.

Love is very precious
Floating in the air
It’s a cherished feeling
Embrace it now and share.

Too busy

Someone at this moment
Silent through their pain
Be it in mind or body
Tears hidden by the strain.

It’s not that we’re uncaring
Too busy with our lives
To notice someone’s troubles
While we struggle to survive.

A hand upon a shoulder
Knowing you are there
May be the very reason
They step back from despair.

To hug a tree it’s nice to see
It’s rings with tales of history
Lover’s notes with penknife etched
beneath shady leaves outstretched
Feel the earth from which its roots
Energies from the soil to sooth
Wrap yourself in morning dew
It’s spirit to the mind imbue.

Although you’ve lost a loved one.

Passing by familiar places
On your shoulder feel their touch
A soft and tender presence
A love that meant so much.

Like a guardian angel
Always by your side
Still caring for you daily
Love can never be denied.

For life goes on without them
Your happiness is key
Looking on and caring
Forever they will be.

I see you smiling in the clouds:

Passing by roses blooming
Memories of mother pruning
On her knees nature praying
All around her children playing.

Nestled-loved-happiness found
A family on common ground
Looking back on childhood days
Lost now in our modern ways.

Fewer trees in gardens grow
Where we climbed bough to bough
Skipping, laughing, running wild
As you watched over us and smiled.

Lent is Spent.

My mind now races to Easter eggs
Champagne bottles, rolling kegs.
For forty days I’ve held my nerve
Stopped that barman as he began
To serve.
those creamy Guinness pints.

No says I I’m on a fast
as cocktail Sausages
in a basket passed
waiting for that Orange fill
for a whiskey chaser I would kill.

Someone then told me it’s forty six
more time to wait for that pick-a-mix.
With Bunny rabbit’s nose a twitching
My thoughts now switching to the kitchen.
Full fat fries, corks a popping
The fridge is empty I must go shopping.
