Dreams Of Snow

.

Those days were magical, now they are just soggy. 

. 

Dreams Of Snow      -      25 Dec 20 

Memories of days 

Long gone 

The land was white 

Silent 

Now I see rain 

The land is wet 

I still have 

Dreams of snow 

. 

Bored with the rain. 

. 

Mirror Of A Dream

.

Most people never see themselves in a dream. 

. 

Mirror Of A Dream       -      24 Dec 20 

I cannot see myself 

Only a shadow 

Across the dream mirror 

Hanging on the wall 

Of a hall 

Waiting to be visited 

To break the shadow 

. 

The reflection cannot be seen either. 

. 

Confused

So easy to be this way.

. 

Confused      -      23 Dec 20 

Here or not here 

Shadows of reality 

Dark in light 

Minds confused 

By the way 

That shifts in reality 

Change perception 

. 

Maintain focus on what is. 

. 

The Key [Haiku]

.

Written with someone special in mind. 

. 

The Key [Haiku]      -     22 Dec 20

You are the key which 

Opened my Heart to your Love 

In eternity 

. 

A statement of fact. 

. 

Solstice

.

This is a good time of the year. 

. 

Solstice       -      21 Dec 20 

Shortest day 

Longest night 

Solstice is the key 

To winter 

. 

Winter might be starting but Spring is not far behind. 

. 

Feeling You

.

Wherever I am. 

. 

Feeling You      -     20 Dec 20 

Softness 

A gentle smile 

Inviting 

A gentle kiss 

Leading me 

Feeling you 

Taking me 

Taking me 

. 

I can feel this. 

. 

Seeing

.

Something more to be found. 

. 

Seeing       -       19 Dec 20 

Missing something 

I am aware 

Of hearing 

Even smelling and tasting 

But I am not 

Seeing the other world 

I know to be 

In my grasp 

And I wait for the secret door 

Of the Moon 

To open 

. 

The door is beginning to open. 

. 

Dream Mirror

.

Seen from my window just before bed. 

. 

Dream Mirror      -      18 Dec 20 

Rippling mirror 

Reflecting silver 

From a lamp outside 

A house 

Rain does not stop 

Even in the magic 

Of a dream 

. 

Quite a fascinating image, I spent a few minutes just watching it. 

. 

Remembered

.

Those echoes from the past still drift around.

.

Remembered       -      17 Dec 20 

In places I have seen 

The shadows of where 

I have been still linger 

Hearing the conversations 

More than just a murmur 

Remembered hours 

Echo from the days 

Into the now 

. 

Sometimes it is good to see and hear again. 

. 

With Me

.

Remembered images of the Holy Wells here in Cornwall. 

. 

With Me       -      16 Dec 20 

In the secret sacred places 

We are together always 

You share the waters 

With me as we drink 

From the well 

Where life springs 

Eternallly 

Spirits sing us 

. 

Magical days. 

. 

Chance Meeting

.

The most interesting things happen. 

. 

Chance Meeting      -     15 Dec 20 

Walking 

Thinking my thoughts 

Into my presence 

You slip softly 

Sweetly 

Making me aware 

In the chance meeting 

Something begins 

To grow 

And become 

. 

There are no coincidences. 

. 

A Day In Time [Acrostic]

.

This grew unexpectedly as I was contemplating what to write. 

. 

A Day In Time [Acrostic]      -     14 Dec 20

All secret thoughts flow 

Dangling incentives 

Against the skies 

You can feel 

Intensive urges which can 

Never be ignored 

The feelings which grow 

In our minds 

Must be actualised 

Eventually or they will fade 

. 

Exploring the day. 

. 

Moon Bathing

.

Just as Lovely as sun bathing. 

. 

Moon Bathing      -      13 Dec 20

In a secret place 

I sit 

Naked 

Bathing in 

The light from the Moon 

. 

The energies are strong. 

. 

Dreamy Day

.

Memories of those Lovely summer days. 

. 

Dreamy Day      -     12 Dec 20 

Sublime 

Quiet and peaceful 

Gentle hum of passing insects 

Occasional birdsong 

Adding a soft counterpoint 

To the feel of the day 

Holding me in the dreamy feel 

Letting me slide into 

The warm dream 

Of a summer day 

. 

They were Lovely days. 

. 

In Me

What I can feel.

. 

In Me      -      11 Dec 20 

Feeling you 

With me 

Beside me 

In my thoughts 

In me 

. 

Some interesting thoughts. 

. 

Locket

.

Hiding in plain sight. 

. 

Locket      -      10 Dec 20 

On a silver chain 

Nestled between her breasts 

A little piece of silver 

Holding a secret image 

Within the locket 

Eternal Love 

. 

A little piece of eternity. 

. 

Leaves

.

Autumn vision, can you see it? 

. 

Leaves      -      09 Dec 20 

Once stuck to trees 

Now stuck to footpaths 

Or if they are considered 

Interesting 

Stuck between the leaves 

Of a book of memories 

. 

Sadly most are just a brown mess. 

. 

New Words

Always a good idea to find different ways to say things.

. 

New Words      -     08 Dec 20 

Different ways to say 

The same things 

Trying to find 

New words 

To keep the message 

Fresh and interesting 

. 

Not always easy, often going back to the same way is the best. 

. 

Meeting

.

This can happen anywhere and at any time. 

. 

Meeting      -     07 Dec 20 

By chance 

A sudden encounter 

A meeting of like Souls 

In an unexpected 

Afternoon 

. 

Always be ready for these to happen. 

. 

Another World

.

I found you waiting. 

. 

Another World      -     06 Dec 20 

Searching for a different 

Way to see 

For a different place 

To be 

I found another world 

Which held you 

Waiting for me 

The welcome I felt 

I never had before 

Now I am home 

. 

You were here all along, I just did not see you. 

. 

Journal

.

How many diaries actually say important things? 

. 

Journal       -      05 Dec 20 

Reams of close writ text 

Detailing 

The events of daily life 

Year after year 

Of interest to a very few 

But still the journal 

Is kept 

On papers bound 

To make them 

Look important 

. 

I do not know where my old diaries are now. 

. 

Snow Coming

.

There is something about the flavour of the air. 

. 

Snow Coming      -      04 Dec 20 

I can taste the snow 

In the air 

Wind carries the flavour 

Of the crystals 

To me 

I know that 

Snow coming 

Is inevitable 

Breathe 

Taste for yourself 

. 

This is something I have been able to do for ages. 

. 

A Touch Of Silver [Haiku]

.

An image to consider. 

. 

A Touch Of Silver [Haiku]      -    03 Dec 20

Moonlight outlines a 

Secret shape in the darkness 

A touch of silver 

. 

The Moon can show many things. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]

.

Thoughts on what I can hear. 

. 

Rain In The Night [Haiku]      -     02 Dec 20

Footsteps on the glass 

Announce the arrival of 

Cold rain in the night 

. 

The sound is chilling. 

. 

Open

.

The book of the year. 

. 

Open       -       01 Dec 20 

An open book 

As the year draws 

To an end 

Dreams scribed 

In tears 

Of joy and sorrow 

Both due to completion 

Soon this book will close 

And another will open 

. 

The words are not to be read by us. 

. 

In The Essence

.

The work of a spiritual apothecary is interesting. 

. 

In The Essence      -      30 Nov 20 

Brewing a new batch 

Of the tincture 

Blending and stirring 

Gently 

In the essence of 

The herbs and special spices 

An element of mystery 

Is growing 

I know this well 

. 

Feeling the power. 

. 

Gathering

.

A prophecy is being mapped out. 

. 

Gathering       -      19 Nov 20 

The elves are meeting 

Gathering in the woods 

Warning of a change 

In the weather 

Wind from the North 

A frigid song sung 

Through the trees 

Endlessly keening 

Beware the ides of December 

. 

Weather shifts at the beginning of the month. 

. 

Daytime Dream

.

Thoughts mingled, memories and dreams of you. 

. 

Daytime Dream      -      28 Nov 20

Sitting in the sunshine 

Watching the damselflies 

Dance above the stream 

Not really focused 

More intent on the thoughts 

Of you in my daytime dream 

And drifting toward you 

As my dream develops 

And grows 

. 

The damselflies from decades ago, you now and always. 

. 

Tasting

.

Always sampling. 

. 

Tasting      - 27 Nov 20 

All the unique flavours 

Of you come together 

In one special blend 

When I am tasting you 

To discover which parts 

I prefer and 

What I want to combine 

To enjoy 

. 

The answer is, all of you. 

. 

Flight Of Night

.

Panic from an unexpected place. 

. 

Flight Of Night      -     26 Nov 20 

As if chased 

The images of night 

Flee 

Scattering dust 

Into the watching eye 

Night is afraid 

Of itself 

What can it do 

In the light 

The flight of night 

Causes panic in the 

Nightmares 

. 

Calm them down. 

. 

Tapestry Of Stars

.

Look into the sky and see for yourself. 

. 

Tapestry Of Stars      -     25 Nov 20 

Woven memories 

Infused with light 

Of a myriad stars 

Shaped by a skilful hand 

Into a tapestry 

Telling the story 

Of eternity 

. 

Read the story. 

.
