Incoming tide

Standard
Thursday 21st October 

Watching the incoming tide
Advancing over the sand
Devouring all the footprints
As the sea claims back the land

Thinking of you
Love you both
Precious sons

Choppy seas on Porthmeor Beach
Many surfers ready to enjoy the waves
The harbour slipway
The tide is on the turn
Waves pushing in over the sand
Be aware, you could be cut off quite quickly….
Cock Bank at 15:25
And six minutes later…

A walk in the rain

Standard
Wednesday 20th October 

When melancholy invades
And despondency muscles in
Wrap up for a walk in the rain
Not letting the low spirits win

Love you both so much
Treasured sons

Raining and surfing
Heavy showers coming this way
Breezy
Half term holidaymakers enjoying surf school

Between

Standard
Tuesday 19th October 

Between there and here
Of peripheral vision
Hovering in the stillness
Of a beclouded collision
Imperceptibly out of reach
Pausing with indecision
In and out of focus
With confused imprecision
The answer to everything
An impossible mission

Thinking of you both
Love you forever
Beloved sons

Two churches
St Ives shrouded in mist and mizzle

No words

Standard
Monday 18th October 

No words for my thoughts
I can't speak my emotions
Unexpressed sentiments
Just going through the motions 

Dearest darling sons
Love you both so much

Holding the darkness at bay

Standard
Sunday 17th October 

Holding the darkness at bay
Where silently lies the pain
I know it won't disappear
It reminds me of your domain
Gone from my side, not my heart
Knowing I'll see you again
A never-ending reminder
The link that won't break the chain

Love you both so much
Precious sons

Remembering moments

Standard
Friday 15th October 

Remembering moments
Recalling the time
When life was simple
No mountains to climb

Love you both so much
Precious Angel sons

Looking down on the harbour this morning
Sunny Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Harbour high tide reflections
Fluffy clouds
So still

Another rotation

Standard
Thursday 14th October 

Another rotation
Around the sun
Happy birthday Gary
Seventy-one!
Crikey mikey
Quite an old 'un
But good to know
Still having fun
Birthday wishes
From everyone

Precious sons
Love you both

Kedgeree with haddock (mine)
Double cheeseburger with fries (Gary’s)
A hungry sparrow
An inquisitive robin

We lived

Standard
Wednesday 13th October 

We lived
You departed
And even though
I'm brokenhearted
This I know
Back where we started
Together again
Our paths are charted
Beyond the stars
No longer parted

Love you both so much
My darling sons

Enjoying the sunshine on Porthmeor Beach
The harbour
Smeaton’s Pier

Peace

Standard
Tuesday 12th October 

Peace in my smile
But look carefully
Behind the eyes
Some disharmony
But I'll continue on
With some certainty
Just persevering
Quite purposely

Love you both so much
Beloved sons
