Gentle words of wisdom

In the garden there was a labyrinth -

Inside the house I heard gentle words of wisdom -

Each word entering my heart - 

My eyes becoming bright with tears -

Swanage 

August 2026 

I wanted this afternoon to never end

I wanted this afternoon to never end -

Swimming with you -

No thoughts other than how lovely you were -

The scent of past summers

We ate blackberries walking back -

Each tree we saw had its long memory -

The woodland path was fragrant with the scent of past summers -

Creech

August 2026 

Joyous as scapegrace boys

We were swept downstream by the current -

Above us, shining greenery and glimpses of burnished sky -

Flickering scales of light on the cool water -

Coming to rest in a deep pool -

Joyous as scapegrace boys -

Watching Father Brown

Watching Father Brown -

The splendid Bunty Windermere in her roadster -

Murdered followed by Mrs McCarthy's scones -

August 2026 

Looking at a self portrait of Samuel Palmer

Your dark eyes -

Your beautiful sadness -

You loved one who spoke with angels -

August 2026 

Waiting for the eclipse

Waiting for the eclipse -

Looking for angels in the tree -

The return of my lost darlings -
