Sunday 31st January

.

Fascinated by simple things

When you have time to stare

Big, fat raindrops falling from trees

Making puddles everywhere

.

Radiating, rippling circles

Creating myriad patterns

Concentric, vanishing waves

At the edges, finally flattened

.

All moving at differing speeds

Away from the centre of impact

A chaotic interference

Transfixed, the eyes attract

.

I think, if you were there

You would be sploshing about

Trying your best to get me wet

Whilst laughing, there’s no doubt

.

And I miss you so

Dearest Angel son

All that mischievousness

And uncomplicated fun

.

Saturday 30th January

Despair weighs heavily

For which there’s no remedy

Thinking of you endlessly

Your life’s now heavenly

Leaving such a legacy

Memories are my therapy

But grief hits excessively

In its complexity

.

Love you forever sweetheart

Beloved Angel son

Foggy, misty and murky today

Friday 29th January

.

Sometimes I turn

To talk to you

And when I look

I see right through

An empty space

With misty hue

Trying to imagine

I’ll bump into

My darling Angel

If only you knew

I’ll wait and wait

To rendezvous

.

Always and forever

Precious Angel son

Thursday 28th January

.

The unremarkable

The ordinariness

The routine

The normal

.

Those moments of long ago

No real meaning then

But now

There’re all that’s left

.

Digging around

In my library of memories

Rooting in drawers

At the back of cupboards

.

I mustn’t forget

I won’t let go

I want to see clearly

Keep your legacy

.

You

My son

Sweetie pie

Gone far too soon

.

Today

Is a new day

I haven’t seen before

.

Thinking of you

As always

Beloved Angel son

Tuesday 26th January

.

There is surely no ‘other side’

Where, away from fear, you glide

With head held high, you stride

.

But there are times when I’ve cried

Though all the tears may have dried

I’m grateful that you’re my guide

.

Thinking of you

Missing you

Remembering you

Loving you

.

Treasured Angel son

Cloudy, grey, misty, drizzly, rainy all day

Monday 25th January

.

Our love will last

Be unsurpassed

And stay steadfast

.

Forever and always

To the end of my days

Beneath the sun’s rays

.

Thinking of you

Beloved Angel son

St Ives looking pretty this morning

Sunday 24th January

.

During the darkest night

I look for a chink of light

That expectation

In the constellation

That you’re up there

Flying high somewhere

Darling Angel son

Now forever young

.

High tide in the harbour this morning

Driving past the slipway

Porthmeor Beach

White horses galloping in the wild wind

Saturday 23rd January

.

And I do know

I miss you so

All the stars glow

As cold winds blow

.

I take it slow

And even though

I’m here below

There’s tomorrow

.

Love you sweetheart

My darling Angel son

Friday 22nd January

.

I need to escape

Immerse my soul

Away from pain

Make myself whole

.

I’ll make a break

Then smile again

No worries or fears

Calmness to attain

.

Thinking of you

Treasured Angel son

Sunshine, then heavy hail showers
