Laughter echoes

Standard
Sunday 10th November 

Laughter echoes
In an empty space
Places we dreamed
Now left erased

The words unsaid
The scenes unseen
Lives we lived
In might-have-been

Holding them close
For they are mine
Woven with love
A silent sign

For every memory
That's stripped bare
Is love that lingers
And always there

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Wispy clouds
A ring around the sun
A pretty morning

In the realm

Standard
Saturday 9th November 

In the realm
Where shadows reign supreme
There's a world
Of dismal hues and a sombre dream
The mist descends
A shroud of grey and gloom
Enveloping
The land in a mournful tune

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

High tide in the harbour
Grey November skies

Forests of thought

Standard
Friday 8th November 

Through forests of thought
Tangled and dense
Reflecting on choices made
The consequences immense
Contemplating the future
Uncertain and unknown
Meandering through the present
Where seeds are sown

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

St Ives Cornwall

Aimless steps

Standard
Thursday 7th November 

Aimless steps
On shifting ground
Lost in silence
Without a sound
The world moves on
Yet here I stay
Caught in thoughts
That drift away

Without a purpose
Undefined
Wandering roads
Within the mind
Uncertain paths
Stretch wide and bare
While questions linger
In still air

Yet somewhere
In this restless state
Perhaps there’s something
Small but great
A spark to guide 
A quiet tirade
Waiting there
Beyond the shade

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Another grey morning

Breathing in

Standard
Wednesday 6th November 

Breathing in
Cool, crisp air
Filling the lungs
With calm and care
Gently soothing
A worried mind
Leaving troubles
So far behind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and foggy today

All those moments

Standard
Tuesday 5th November 

All those moments
That now cannot be
The love in the days
We will never see

A future imagined
Yet lost to the past
A tower of hope
Never meant to last

Still, from all this 
A new road may grow
It won’t be the one 
We thought we'd know

In shattered dreams 
Truths are revealed
Even in loss
New paths a minefield

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Grey and drizzly today

Feeling the wind

Standard
Monday 4th November 

Feeling the wind
Upon the face
Swirling about
With gentle grace
Carrying safely
All the fears
Wiping away
Those silent tears

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Parish Church and the Island

Eyes set forward

Standard
Sunday 3rd November 

Eyes set forward
Hearts awake
We build and bend
We form and break

But memories weave
In time’s vast thread
With whispered voices
Of what’s been said

The past a guide 
A gentle hand
Shaping hopes
Helping to stand

In the dance of then
And yet-to-be
Finding our path
Both wild and free

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Looking over the rooftops

A future imagined

Standard
Saturday 2nd November 

A future imagined
Bright and clear
Yet echoes call
From yesteryear
Dreams rose up
Bright and new
Yet shadows linger
Anguish too

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The Parish Church
St Ives harbour

In the realm

Standard
Friday 1st November 

In the realm of reflective minds 
I wander aimlessly
Through forests of contemplation
Where thoughts flow endlessly

Lost in a labyrinth of doubt 
Seeking the answers I crave
In the shadows of uncertainty 
Pounded by wave after wave

This mind a battlefield
Where ideas clash and collide
Delving into depths of wisdom
Seeking truths that guide

Each question leads to another
Each answer breeds more doubt
Yet pressing ever onwards
Seeking knowledge inside and out

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum
