Wishes We Grew

A Love song with a touch of history.





Wishes We Grew  -  06 Dec 14

Can you remember
That time before we met
When wishes were
All we had
And all we could hope
To fill our lives

We grew wishes
From unexpected seeds
Exchanging words
Suddenly we realised
That we were saying
More ~ much more

From simple beginnings
We discovered the foundations
Built upon them
Now we can look back
And ask
Can you remember





Can you remember the beginnings?

Winter With Spring Waiting

Seeing the leaves and remembering how things change as the year revolves.





Winter With Spring Waiting  -  17 Oct 14

Beneath the layer
Of sodden brown
Fractured leaves
Moist earth
Remembers the life
Holds it close
Soon
Very soon
Spring will claim
The land
And open the seeds
Again





Seasons turn.

Dream Seeds

I had just finished building the post for yesterday's poem when Muse touched me and suggested another poem.





Dream Seeds  -  27 Nov 13

Dream seeds
Scattered by the wind
On frosted mornings
Tapping into hidden images
Secret thoughts
Wrapped in phantom visions
Waiting

Harvest
Single seed
Ready to grow
Flowers at night
Sweet perfume fills the mind
Opening doors to dream
Opening dreams





I rather like the rapid sequence, especially when poems with totally different feelings come into being.

Damp Blanket [Haikū]

Another Haikū to hint at the way the weather is painting the season.

Damp Blanket [Haikū]  -  15 Nov 13

Inside winter life

Seeds in cold ground lie waiting

Under damp blanket

There will almost certainly be more to come.
