Just you and me

Standard
Wednesday 7th July 

Floundering
In the dark
Just searching
For a spark

Where is that
Small fracture
Letting me
Just capture

The brightest
Of flashlights
Breaking through
Those black nights?

Trying to
Move forward
Way ahead
Quite awkward

Or is it
More suited
To remain
Just secluded

In repose
Still and calm
Inky gloom
Healing balm?

I'll close my eyes
So I can see
No interruptions
Just you and me

Love you sweetheart
Beloved Angel son

Driving home
Through Dorset
The ‘Nearly there’ trees at Cookworthy Knapp

Intensely aware

Standard
Tuesday 6th July 

Intensely aware
That you're not here
Acutely conscious
That the pain's severe

We'll meet you again
Of that I'm sure
My sweet Angel son
I'll hug you some more

And until that day
I'll cherish the thought
Of fun and laughter
All the love you brought

Love you poppet
Treasured Angel son

Poole, Dorset
A train is coming
Crossing over the road
Poole Harbour
Corfe Castle
Swanage
A glass of wine overlooking the sea
Wareham Town Hall

Revive

Standard
Saturday 3rd July 

Some days I really feel
So happy to be alive
Sunshine and lightness of step
When my soul can easily thrive

But then at other times
Where I seem to just survive
Gloomy days and plodding feet
When my wellbeing takes a dive

Becoming used to the path
The ups and downs on the drive
So turning my eyes skyward
Joyful memories to revive

Thoughts of you
A love so true
Precious Angel son
Now forever young
