Our Sun
When we walked in the sun, it shone for us;
Radiant, radiating warmth and love, I held you close.
Had I the chance, I would never have let go.
I don’t know what was brighter, that day:
your smile, or the sun’s rays colouring the world a sweet, rose hue.
Had I the chance, I would never have let go.
Radiant, radiating warmth and love, I held you ...

Ode to Music
Sweet notes ring,
anticipating spring
and the rebirth of all
that fell afoul of fall.
Music in the air,
wind blowing through hair
and laughter ringing out
like many bells in peal, no doubt.
Ever a sweet melody,
like birds, a-singing in the tree,
reminding me of nature’s beauty
and as a minstrel, of my duty.
I share with all my wondrous notes,

Desolation
Footsteps echo in a silent wood.
Birds hush their singing.
Cold air fills the space.
A voice on the wind calls:
“There is nothing left”
Caught in the air, the memory of darker times.
Times when the woodland thrived; vivacious and colourful.
Before fire and hungry mouths ravaged the tranquil home of many, many vibrant beings.
Before emptiness an...

Reflections
Snow-capped mountains overlooking still waters,
the reflection as clear as reality;
a reality where everything is still.
Flower buds opened wide, shades of day and night
and birdsong hanging in the air, a mist of sound.
A ripple in the reflection; the song starts anew, the flowers
sway in the gentle mountain breeze and the snow falls afresh.
If only time could stop once more...

Serenity
Scent: sweet, gentle, floral,
effervescent. Flowers blooming in the garden,
red and pink, white and orange, blue and purple;
each and every one, different. Yet,
no less beautiful. Bees, with
intrigue, circle the flowers; farming
their much-needed pollen. A vibrant
yellow among a calm sea of colours.

Sanctuary
An ancient forest, beautiful, thoroughly
abandoned. Steeped in Elven architecture,
a reminder of a race for whom time ran out.
Pale stone juts out from behind silver bark and yellowed leaves.
Foliage rustles.
An autumnal breeze disturbing fallen leaves and detached twiglets.
Still, no one is here.
Two centuries have passed since the halls of these
elegant pal...

Salvation
Silent,
Wand’ring through boughs.
Stillness,
Frozen in time.
Gazing up at the celestial array of
ever changing, shifting, phasing patterns
signifying the potential of life, long-gone.
Alone,
wond’ring that perhaps,
just
perhaps,
the chance given was not:
salvation promised.

Elysium
Golden fields.
Elysium.
Happier days I have never felt, beside the one who calls to my soul
and dances with me through all eternity. To the end of time.
I could walk through these glittering fields, never wanting for anything, except
that love. The love which guides me,
warms me,
holds me, in deepest contentment.
I look, and I see, there!
