Sparrow with a piece

of frosty grass and a leaf

A Spring in his step

Chatting on the bus

sees our routes through life entwined

We get off lightly

the ambivalence

of petal pages, borrowed

for a time from time

in the lantern light

of a mince pie carol boy

night of Christmas eve

Dawn sky lightening

unwrapping this winter’s day

Such black, such blue, such

Tied up in the logs

waiting by the wood burner

Carbon dioxide

The logs are waiting 

for the fire to set them free

On the winter wind

Catatonic I

float on the music of morn

Compose yourself man

One long night ago

dreamt I had insomnia

Couldn't get to sleep

Adolescence

Feet never on solid ground

Tide now receding

The horizon sun

dancing rainbow eye lashes

Since the dawn of time

My sun your sun

wherever you me may be

Happiness we see
