the aphorism 

about impermanence 

was everlasting

 now it is dark

where have all the trees gone

up amongst the stars

 the last red petal

has fallen to the floor 

dormouse fast asleep 

 what is an evening 

in a season of evenings

without a tree

 in a sea of light

a stick’s shadow floating by

december sunrise

 what is a morning 

in a season of mornings

without a tree

 since you left

cheer up ~ cheer up ~ cheer up

silly sparrows

 i fear it is not 

but it does appear to be

                            river mist

 

the holly hedge

children walking to school

merry berry bonnets

 step softly now

this is where it always sits

kingfisher! kingfisher!

 rowan berries

a mountain fire is rising

from the ashes

 climate change

a budding awareness 

no plums

 retired nurse 

remembering the cures

that no longer work

 

this winter roof 

drip drip drip reminding me 

of my thinning hair
