***
I say my prayers
a lullaby of hours
begins its song
***
on the bedroom wall
my shadow
it shivers
***
in the mirror
a dreamscape
of your day around me
***
a gate
that never opens
keeping distance alive
***
daisy chain
in that shallow stream
her thoughts floating
***
rippling
the silent lake
a stone echoes
***
curtains of gauze
my soul's longing
what was it I saw?
***
cradling the crescent moon
gently rocking her to sleep
an old gnarled hawthorn
***
blue wedgewood china
willow tree, bridge and stream
a bird flies free
***
whispering my name
in the gentle woods
your quiet spirit
***
radiance
she keeps her light
within her dreams
***
conspiracy of silence
together always
old unmarked gravestone
***
looking glass sea
sea of sky
sky of sea
***
in the palm of her hand
she caught it
a falling star
***
in between
bare winter trees
scarlet dawn
***
blue clouds and sun, majestic white clouds ~ you slipped away as night turned into day
***
winter's frost, jewels of the morning sun
***
sea foam taking flight, fluttering white butterflies kiss my toes
***
carved on the bridge, our moss covered names
***
midnight's moon, her lace shawl so still
***
***
I breathe in sea air as I gather empty seashells
inside each one I write a haiku
and leave them to be found
***
across a wooden bridge over a waterfall, a leaf tumbles
***
white cat on the snow crust suddenly sinks, her two odd coloured eyes
***
when the mask was lifted, the eyes were still fathomless
***
sunset
trembling on the horizon
cards clouds of dusk
***
sun behind the houses, I close my curtains and switch on the lamp
in the mirror
a dreamscape
of your day around me
***
a gate
that never opens
keeping distance alive
***
daisy chain
in that shallow stream
her thoughts floating
***
rippling
the silent lake
a stone echoes
***
curtains of gauze
my soul's longing
what was it I saw?
***
cradling the crescent moon
gently rocking her to sleep
an old gnarled hawthorn
***

sunset
trembling on the horizon
cards clouds of dusk
***
sun behind the houses, I close my curtains and switch on the lamp
***
deeper and deeper into the woods, the heady smell of pine
***
origami
my young daughter
hands me a perfect crane
***
seventeen years old
fat tabby cat
suddenly turns kitten
***
***
yellow flower
all winter
waiting for a butterfly
***
for the entire funeral
the only time
he held my hand
***
a white horse rears
hooves pawing
snow covered ivy
***
fog, just I and my car surrounded by a blanket of white
***
wind chimes chiming
fat tabby cat opens her eyes
glares hard
***
I go to bed to sleep
but sleep eludes
wanders somewhere else
***
***
a dandelion
explodes stars
into the night sky
***
wright's coal tar soap
my father scrubs me
behind the ears
***
I drive past a field
shrouded in mists
just for one moment I see a unicorn
***
a pavement puddle
more blue
than the sky
***
unblinking
between slender stems of grass
a frog's eye
***
snaking across the moors
in sunlight
an old tarmac road
***
as clouds
race across the pond
a frog sits perfectly still
***
rain and wind
rattle my window panes
dog and I disappear under my bedcovers
deeper and deeper into the woods, the heady smell of pine
***
origami
my young daughter
hands me a perfect crane

***
raindrops
racing
down the window
***
midnight rain
mannequins
dry behind the glass
***
the silent child
she breathed in
the moon and stars
***
I open the front door
a heavy blanket of fog
invites itself in
***
raindrops
racing
down the window
***
midnight rain
mannequins
dry behind the glass

the silent child
