As heavy clouds droop

Over the last falling sun

Sleep slowly sweeps in

Above grey green waves

Fall into a question mark

Fall into the sea

Broken sunlight streams

In the gaps between the trees

There must be shadows

Asleep in the woods

Squirrel whiskers twitching while

Muffled hedgehogs curl

If I could stretch up

Reach out long gnarled tree fingers

Could I catch the moon?

Grey rain clouds diffuse

The last light of the evening

My heart skips a beat

When will new life spring

Rising up from long darkness?

We wait still in hope

Dead leaves settle down

Leave me in the dirty ground

Who wants to be found?

The line of pine trees

Dividing the horizon

A rend in the clouds

Across the valley

Another world opens up

Carry me away

Am I still afraid

To try my best? Or am I

Just not good enough?

Sunlight and shadow

Questions without an answer

Empty and hollow

Though you are older

You will see more years than I

Mine simply fly by

Half a silver moon

Hanging in the cinder gloom

Falling back down soon

Day silently breaks

The surface of the duck pond

Set your sights beyond

Where earth and sky meet

A hazy gloom descending

Spectres rising up

Square words in round ears

I cannot navigate this

Mutable cloud maze

Kindle another flame

Catch the corner, watch it grow

Fire drives away dark
