Stare into the sun

You can’t forget by trying

Deteriorate

Watch rain clouds roll in

Stacked slowly ‘gainst the sunset

Drifting off to sleep

Gossamer splinters

Tangled, entwined in teasels

Grey matter twitches

An ancient orchard

Brambles squeezing out apples

The fairies are lost

Ruined castles rise

Protruding from the fenland

I can’t let you go

These broken windows

So many stones I have thrown

Just give up on me

There’s another world

A space that’s inside our heads

And that’s where we meet

Restless devices

And a broken dream machine

Tiresome tumult

Between your warm arms 

A dew drop grass sea shimmers

Die in the sun rise 

Between fairy lights

Buttons polished fairly bright

Backward ferry rides

Cow parsley blossom

Little hands working in love 

Giving all you have

Adrift and sinking

Quicksand between naked toes

Will you take my hand?

Meadow flowers bloom

Minnows catching golden rays

Take the middle way

When the words run out

There is nothing left to say

I know it’s ok

The work of my hands

Will fall and fail like the grass

I will outlive it

A tawney owl hoots

Soft in the still summer night

Tired eyelids droop

Moonlight dancing on

Gentle eddies and currents 

A babbling brook

Early pond skaters

Dancing above polliwogs

In sunlight ripples

I will always be

There, for you and here with you

Never letting go

New dandelions

Soak up incessant drizzle

Is it summertime?

Honey sweet May flowers

Dancing with bees in the sun

Bumbling about

From inside the hive

The source of sweetness and light

The drones labour on

Am I an island

Floating across the blue depths?

Throw me an anchor 

Summer rains louder

Beating on thousands of leaves

A stormy tattoo
