Flushed

Generous Nature
Oft hides her true heart
But still it goes on beating.

A call to prayer

Prayer calls the faithful
To find peace within each day.
Allah, come what may.

Bookends

Bookends in sunlight
Frame another starry night.
Don't dream it's over.

Fallen giant

Fallen giant sleeps,
Crowded by mourners,
Ever in the woodland keep

Bread

Kneading sustenance
Reveals masonic secrets
Baking in the dough.

Housekeeping

Joy of housekeeping:
Never ending tasks
That always need re-doing.

Insomnia

Insomnia creeps
Through the darkened room
Begging "Come look at the moon."

Ice Garden

A gossamer shroud,
Ice veils the garden.
Crows voice their quarrel aloud.

Caged

I made my own cage.

Bars: expectation,

and a ceiling of my fears.

New Beginning

Beginning again
With a book and a pen.
Pages of the year unmarked.

Foggy dawn

Fog falls in the gap
Between night and day
Keeping the sunrise at bay.
