my boy's growing up

son home
crunch of his car on gravel
car door shut
front door open
his footsteps on stairs
all remind me
of his dad

my boy's growing up

new beginnings...?

I dreamt of space and light
of things being made new
and in the midst of new beginnings
I still dream of you

I wanted to scream out
that you're no longer here
but you remain a part of me
the part I hold most dear

I don't know where I'm going
each step is filled with dread and fear
each day I try to smile
but my laughter's edged with tears

Can I face a new beginning
without you by my side?


I just don't know the answer
but I'm going to have to try...

Ode to the Monday Morning Walking Group

Scattered Pebbles

The high tide
scattered pebbles
from the shore

Far and wide
escaped rebels
on the beach no more

 #HeartSoup "scattered pebbles"

ripple in time

looking back
you were a mere
ripple in time
a wave
I jumped over
as a small child

#fieryverse - ripples in time

Limpet

You are still the limpet
Who cling around my neck
Even after
All these years

You are the one
Who colours my dreams
Making a rainbow
From my tears x
