Stepping out

Standard
Friday 6th February 

Stepping out upon the edge
Where subtle fear resides
When fortune favours
And bold action guides

Trusting the wind
Catching you as you leap
Where waking dreams
Are better than being asleep 

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A chaotic mind

Standard
Tuesday 3rd February 

A chaotic mind
So often strained
A tangled landscape
Barely explained

Layers of memories
Softly reside
Like faded maps
Where journeys collide

Much still to find
In that hazy space
A forgotten smile 
A familiar face

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

It’s grey again

Standard
Monday 2nd February 

It's grey again
And raining too
The clouds hang low 
A heavy hue
Watching droplets 
Hit the ground
A great big sigh
A muted sound
Soft whispers
On a chilly breeze
Swaying the branches
Rustling the leaves

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

It’s better when

Standard
Saturday 31st January 

This dreary grey
And constant pour
I cannot stand this
Weather much more
Just water falling
Cold and deep
While all the world
Seems fast asleep
A sigh escapes 
A weary sound
While dampness settles
Upon the ground
Yet when clouds retreat
And darkness fades
There's a joy of life
In sunny cascades
It's better when
The sun does shine
Embracing all
In love’s design

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The sky lets loose

Standard
Friday 30th January 

The sky lets loose
Another heavy squall
The sturdy trees
Begin to crack and fall
Gloominess spreads
With haste too soon
A sudden darkness
Chills the afternoon

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Never let minutes

Standard
Wednesday 28th January 

Never let minutes
Slip silently past
The warmth of heart's glow
Is meant to last

Cherish your loved ones
Speak words from your core
Let them know daily
What they mean and more

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
