Dreary rainy day

Grey and dull and beautiful

So soon forgotten 

A half life decay

Another day melts away

Tides wash me again 

Layers on layers

Covering all our mistakes 

A fresh coat of pain

Two peas in a pod

Train tracks converge and entwine 

Meet your reflection 

Lost in the thick fog

Between awake and asleep 

Words no longer come 

Shrouded in ivy

Escape to another world 

Secret fairy doors

Purple twilight glow

When words fail, what is left but

The very last drop

In a dreamy haze

Between waking and sleeping 

Glazed and vacant stare

A dim orange star

Behind Sahara dust clouds 

A storm is coming 

Thundering footsteps

Tearing up and down the stairs 

Another play date 

Bike wheels turn slowly 

Night becomes day becomes night

History repeats

Pink skies and pink skin

Dark eyes and darkness within

Everything changes 

Be brave, be patient

Be strong, be steady, breathe deep

Be only yourself

As the axe head falls

Dividing up knotty grains

We open our mind 

Glowing evening cool

Soaks away into reed beds

Settle down cobwebs 

Little brown acorns

A hollow round iris print

Reflected eye lines

Deep in the thicket 

Climbing overgrown windows 

Through the looking-glass

A gap in the clouds 

Drinking in dusty lightness 

An adventure hole

A ball of instincts

Unfurling, unravelling

Who will you become? 

Rocky layers strut

In golden lines from the cliff

While the wind crumbles
