Waning gibbous light

Turns the night grey and silent 

But the stars remain 

Across Cornish hills 

Lazy clouds drift and linger 

Darkness calls us home 

From our rocky perch 

Watching lonely ships anchor 

Together moments 

Hand springs on fresh grass

Crop circles left by cart wheels

Upside down smiles 

Cold saltwater burns

My skin it tingles and shrinks

To my very bones 

Lords and ladies stand 

Guarding shady woodland paths

Between celendine

A steady heart beats

Limbs floating in suspension 

Baby bones strengthen

Attract and repel 

Static electricity

Keeping us apart

Adventuring on

Deeper into the forest 

Rediscovering 

Bright blue bells bouncing

Beneath broken birch branches 

Bumblebees begin 

Dead daffodil heads

Returning to the leaf mould 

Everything decays 

Inside the wood stack

Giant spiders build their nests

Until autumn burns 

From your long shadows 

Branching all around our ears 

Little buds appear 

Warm adrenaline 

Draining from my shaking limbs

Green after a storm 

From behind soft clouds 

Layers of golden sunlight

Melt into darkness 

Afternoon sunlight

Drawing lines from wild hair

Falls across your face

Magnolia blooms 

Her petals rain around us

Fading memories 

A bubbling pool

Teaming and straining with life

Careful of the edge 

On a distant limb

Hanging by the thinnest thread

 Catch me when I fall

Beady eagle eyes

Reading between every line 

There’s nowhere to hide 

Behind every door

Lies a maze to get trapped in 

Can I hide out here? 

In the garden air

Under the box tree, I said

Will you come to me 

Wherever I am

On mountains or beneath seas

I will still trust you  

Ramsons scent the air

Wild and fecund in spring light 

Shivering bear limbs
