The ship in harbour May be safe But not what Ships are for As my love is cast In harbour, dear - Our ship departs The shore

Inner glow
I was thinking About something I’d forgotten Long before It wandered In my mind that morn’ Like it had been In store It came to pass I raised my glass And took a sip To say That everything And anything Would flow from it Today Reflected in – The glass revealed A woman’s Supple face … Continue reading Inner glow
Castles in the sand
I often chance what life may be If allowed to thrive And wander far away from home So I may feel alive I often think of sorrow past Will it return again And wallow in self-pity Like a cage of utter pain I often feel a sense of loss But then true love is found … Continue reading Castles in the sand

A whistle blows – silence grows Alerted to a warning Like iridescence in the sky One lustrous summer morning Darting from the here and now The future’s in alignment To my cloud – I float – I fly A life’s divine refinement
