Sunset

stillness
as the sun drops
the glow reaches out with
a farewell in the sky pauses 
watchers

Writer

in the beginning 
words had power to create
now they're on paper

Eve

created for God
in the dewy mornings and
sunburnt hours of the day

created for man
partner shoulder to shoulder 
in this walk called life

created beloved
with honour and dignity
flowing through freedom

Walking

out to wander in
the sun and rain as joy comes
emerging with hope


On a Tiger

riding a tiger
until stone crumbles beneath him
what are the answers

Sunset

pale through thin clouds
sunset calls the city out
to remember this world


Life

new life even now
as earth brings death prior
to winter's long pause


Scarlet

brilliant leaves shine
in the autumn sun today
a scarlet moment


Flower

fuschia for my heart
draws eyes from inside
into the shadows


Web

tiny drops of fog
make the spinner's work
visible

Leaves

the wind blows through here
scattering a crisp carpet
colour fills the path

Asters

delicate shades glow
purple along the road sides
drawing me to peace


Autumn

leaves still cling tight as
cool nights add a brilliant red
to mark the season

Marigolds

aroma fills space
to remind us once again
that music is fun


Sunset

fire in the sky sinks
slowly into quivering 
water as the end

Poppy

blooming blood captured
into clay formed and displayed
for our remembrance

Home

limestone 
church sits solid
stories shine like jewels
through sunlit windows surrounding
worship

Possibility

hope arrives quietly
as work shimmers on edge of
possibility

Tea

canisters for leaves
stacked uniformly on shelf
awaiting release

Flower

solitary splash
eye popping pink as
autumn fades to brown

Maple

colours in the wind 
bring maple crispness
dancing down to me
