Words in motion; gathered from the day

Amber Moon

Evening 
amber moon
clear, claret sky 
a little chilled, but 
Divine

Demons Haiku


Closetted demons
hidden light of revealing
from where freedom?

The High Road


The high road from the coast
is a highwayman's dream
layers of black on black; sea, hills, sky
sooty clouds masking fading moon
frozen silhouettes of rock and tree
caught in passing headights
a coalface of night
winter's teeth bites
and bites again

Broken



Broken
hearts don't
heal them selves
another heart must speak
Love

Spring, maybe?

The sky is light dove grey. 
Not just light but light - 
lifting winter off the earth. 
Taking the strain for the snowdrops 
to lift their heads 
and nod at the moon resting 
on tattered feathers of cloud.

Spring?

Maybe?

Runner

In her dayglo vest and unbound hair
she runs as if her past is all behind her

Upside down sea



The wind 
though the skeletal arms of trees 
whipping the clouds into a pearly foam. 
The sky beyond a baltic blue. 
Seagulls delighting in aerial acrobatics
in an upside down sea.

Meditation


meditation 
tear falls
so much hope
in a small prayer
Breathe

Snow for Crows


feigning nonchalance in their dancing gait                                           highwaymen crows patrol the snowswept field edgings -                            because you just never know...

About to fall


feeling
of being
about to fall
she catches her breath.
Balance
