Expectations

The title says it all I think.

Expectations    -    25 Mar 19

Through an unexpected land
I walk
Looking at the hints
Of things which may happen
My expectations are often raised
To improbable heights
I always expect the best
Of everything

.
The heights may be improbable but never impossible.

Rubicon

.
Inspired by the crossing of the river and by a Tangerine Dream musical offering.

.
Rubicon     -     08 Jan 19

Feet wet shallow water
Exploring the land
On the other side
Wondering what can be found
On the banks of the Rubicon

.
Always exploring.

.

Rain

An observation and a plea.





Rain  -  23 Mar 18

Spring rain

Is still rain

On an already

Saturated land

Enough

Let us have

Some sun

For a pleasant change

I do not want any more rain for a while.

Gateway

This was inspired by memories of a labyrinth workshop I attended many years ago.





Gateway  -  25 Apr 17

To another world

My hand is taken

Held gently

I am led

Through the gateway

Shown the land

Beyond

Invited to continue

I walked to the centre of the labyrinth and felt that I was being invited to continue on further.

Rain Dances

Yet more weather observaions.





Rain Dances  -  21 Nov 16

In the sky

On the land

Silver feet

Dance to the rhythm

Of the drums

Of rain on the roof

Hypnotic beat

Invites other feet

To join

Have you heard the drums?

Creating Now

A friend showed me a quote from "A History of Cornwall" by F E Halliday [c 1959], it read;
"...as we travel to Land's End we also travel back in time, towards our beginning."
This triggered something and almost immediately this poem was born.





Creating Now - 24 Sep 11

Standing
At the dawn of time
Where land and sea
Meet and kiss
In the place where
All our yesterdays
Are born
And
All our tomorrows
Are yet to be

Feeling the Ocean
Beckoning, inviting
Holding out
Her moist hands
To me…
Come my Love
Let us create
Our now
