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.
