Ultramarine

.

A lovely colour.

. 

Ultramarine         -        19 Apr 22

Looking deep in the night sky

Above and beyond the sea

Between the stars all that shows 

The dark ultramarine of home 

. 

Looking into the blue.

. 

Ale House

.

Where "reality" and "imagination" overlap. 

.

Ale House        -        02 Apr 22

Home now 

Remembering where 

I have been 

What I have done 

Wondering if it 

Was really me 

Or stories I heard

In an ale house 

. 

Sometimes impossible to tell them apart.

. 

Seagull Song

.

Partly my thoughts and partly a dreamworld. 

. 

Seagull Song       -        09 Mar 22 

Song of the seagull 

Lives in my thoughts 

Through the day

Taking me back 

To the sands of home

Before I left 

The endless days 

Of gazing at the waves 

And dreaming of the

Endless journey

To the place where 

All beginnings unfold

Will I ever see 

The unfoldings again 

And walk in the steps 

Of me 

Or will I have to wait 

Until the universe

Turns and turns again 

.

One of the questions that awaits an answer. 

. 

Paradise

.

Another world, always in reach.

. 

Paradise        -        04 Dec 21

Farthest from here

A world which holds

An unlikely title

Somehow perfect 

Once seen 

We go to Paradise

We return home

Again 

. 

Always home. 

. 

Wherever

.

Free spirit. 

.

Wherever      -     01 Sep 21 

I am a wanderer

Free-rooted 

Never bound to one place

Wherever I find myself 

I am home

.

I am not a wanderer but I travel in my mind. 

. 

Which Is It

Decisions.

.

Which Is It       -      15 Jun 21

Unknown

A dark 

And sunless day

Path to the left 

Or right

One leads home 

One somewhere else

Take one 

But

Which is it 

.

Sometimes choosing can be very difficult. 

. 

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. 

. 

A Candle For Me

.
A guiding light.

.
A Candle For Me   -   28 Aug 19

Light a candle for me
To show me the way
To come home
To you
Set it in the window
A safe eternal light

.
Looking for your light.

.

Light

.
Take away the darkness, be the light.

.
Light     -     12 Jan 19

When all around you
Is in darkness
People are lost and alone
Be the light
Shine for them
Lead them home

.
The darkness holds no fear for you.

.

Touching Through Infinity

.
We are all together in the streams of infinity.

.
Touching Through Infinity     -    29 Dec 18

On the shores of eternity
I watch the tide
Gently stroke the sands
Stir the grains of the Multiverse
Into new patterns
Where I can see
How touching
Through Infinity
Makes stronger connections
Brings us closer
The tide carries us together
Infinity is our home

.
Playing happily in infinity.

.

The Journey

Inspired, if that is the right word, by a visit to a podiatrist seven miles away.





The Journey  -  07 Sep 17

Planned

But

With unexpected results

A hint of rain

Then the meeting failed

I returned home

With pain

The problem was that the podiatrist did not make the appointment as told me she did.

Hello

Another "Signs" offering.





Hello  -  30 Apr 17

Hello she said

How are things with you

Here let me guide you

Heaven is just a dream away

Home is real

Here I wait for you

Holding my arms open

Having you in my arms

Holding you warmly

Heaven has arrived

Signs are all around.

Songs Of The River

An exploration of the river flow in song.





Songs Of The River  -  14 Jan 17

Spring

Tumbing over the stones

Gentle music brought forth

Cascading melody

Of the dreams of water

Flow

Wide

Sedate

Strong gentle flow

Silence in the depths

Delta

Still serene

Now a taste of salt

Carried on the wind

Licking the flavour

Ocean

Home

But the story never ends

Stars to guide

Reflected in the waves

Travel with me from spring to ocean.

The Mists Of Returning

The call to return home.





The Mists Of Returning  -  09 Sep 16

After all is done

The mists close in again

Hiding the paths of the world

Reminding that there is

One way feft

To home

The call can be heard

Return to me

Listen ~ can you hear?

Earth

Another of the new "Elements" sequence.





Earth  -  26 Jul 16

Home forever
Cared for
By the Eternal Mother
Wherever we are
Earth is always with us
In our Hearts
As we are within
Hers





Somewhen a long time ago there was a different "Elements" series.

Waking Into Dream

A poem about possibly the loveliest dream.





Waking Into Dream  -  17 Feb 16

I woke into a dream
Cautiously I stepped forward
Looked around
Saw you watching me
A gentle smile
Called me on
Reached out
Took me by my hand
I was home





Wishing dreams like this for You too.

Presence

Another Love song for you today.





Presence  -  25 Dec 15

I felt her here
Beside me
Within my reach
Her Love flowed over me
An ocean wave
Lifted me
Carried me
Into her embrace
Her presence
Warm and protective
I knew
I was home at last






I Love Love songs ~ hope you do too.

Long Way [ Long Dark I ]

This is the first poem in a projected series which is to be entitled "Long Dark" or something similar.  I intend to post the work-in-progress sequence as they arrive before offering the the final version ~ somewhen.





Long Way [ Long Dark I ]  -  22 Apr 15

I am a long way from home
Stars keep me company
Travelling hopefully
But I am on the wrong road
On the wrong side
And even the stars
Say no





I am not entirely certain where this sequence of poems is going to lead but I am a willing, hopeful traveller.

Lamp Light

Another Love song from the "Five Thousand Miles" sequence.





Lamp Light  -  12 Jan 15

Glimmers of light
In the early dark
Lamps lit
Calling you home

Whispers over
Five thousand miles
You hear me clearly
I can hear your smile

Duet of words
Our thoughts singing
Together in our dreams
Calling me home

Our song
Only heard by us
Gentle words
Calling us home





I hope you are enjoying the journey.

 

Calling On The Sea

This is another of the "home is calling" poems with a hint of Love song added into it.





Calling On The Sea  -  11 Nov 13

On ancient waters
Sailing
Slow with a breath
Your breath
Waters still
We move gently
Invited by the sun
To rest on
The distant shore
That calls us …
Calls us home





I Love these gentle songs.
