Four thousand days

Standard
Saturday 21st February 

Four thousand days
Since I held you tight
And watched you fade
Into the darkest night

The images still burn
Behind my sight
They do not fade
Into the dimming light

In silent echoes
Of a love once bright
Your absence cloaked
In endless plight

My darling boy
Life is finite
Yours ended too soon
And try as I might

The tears still fall
As your star takes flight
Four thousand days
Since I held you tight

Love you
Miss you
Forever and always
Moon and back

Unaware of troubles

Standard
Friday 20th February 

Unaware of troubles
That may cause strife
Finding joy in small things
In the beauty of life
A world of wonder
Awaits to light the way
Embracing the journey
Towards a brighter day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The world seems muted

Standard




Thursday 19th February 

The world seems muted
Washed in grey
A slow unwinding
Of the day
No urgent call
No sudden need
Just soft damp earth
And planted seed
The hours stretch thin
And barely move
A gentle pace
Will find its groove
A lazy rhythm
Takes its hold
A simple narrative
Will calmly unfold

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Solitude

Standard
Wednesday 18th February 

Here in this solitude
Thoughts drift as wet leaves
And in the depths of quiet
A weary spirit breathes

As that world outside
Does rush in busy flight
That's when inner calm
Brings a peaceful light

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Though disorganisation

Standard
Sunday 15th February 

Though disorganisation
Reigns in this space
Each fleeting moment
Holds a gentle grace

For beneath the noise
And the tangled lines
Lies a sense of calm
Where stillness shines

But back to the now
Where the present is clear
There's no need for any
Lingering slow fear

The chaos does fade
The mind will find peace
Hopeful and patient
A gentle sweet release

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Withheld from view

Standard
Thursday 12th February 

Withheld from view 
Stories left untold
Concealed within 
Silence that grows old

It's easier this way
To keep it near
Less painful when
No others can hear

Private the space
Where grief remains
A separate world
To weather the rains 

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum
