At last

Standard
Tuesday 7th November 

At last, after eleven days of feeling poorly
No longer positive, finally over it, surely

I'm negative, and that's a positive you see
Too long feeling weary, slowly back to being me

Tired and drained, with no appetite in sight
Now on the right track, and it feels so bright

I value my wellbeing, it's the greatest wealth
Onwards and upwards, in pursuit of better health

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A better day, all round

Stormy skies above

Standard
Monday 6th November 

Stormy skies above
Heavy showers descend
Soaked to the skin
In the tempest we contend
Lost in the gloom
Between everything and naught
Rocked to and fro
In the battles we've fought

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Heavy passing showers today

Searching through darkness

Standard
Sunday 5th November 

Searching through darkness
Into a void they stare
The chasm beneath
An abyss of despair
Icy tendrils encircle
Hope begins to fade
No breath remains
In this desolate shade
No energy to be found
As heaviness weighs down
In the depths of gloom
Where sorrows drown
But they try to remember
Even in obscurity so deep
A glimmer of light
Is a promise to keep

Love you so much
Treasured sons

In between showers this afternoon

As the future unfolds

Standard
Saturday 4th November 

As the future unfolds
Uncertain and wide
In moments of reflection
Where emotions reside
In the tapestry of life
These routes we tread
With each step forward
There's a new story ahead

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Sundog skies
A sunny morning

Fragments of memories

Standard
Friday 3rd November 

Fragments of memories
Like whispers in time
Fleeting smiles, a falling tear
Both yours and mine
Hope and regret entwine
In the shadows of the past
Waiting and thinking
In contemplation, steadfast

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A much less stormy day, thank goodness

In the depths of the night

Standard
Thursday 2nd November 

In the depths of night
A tempestuous fight
Winds howled with fury
A relentless might
Noise and chaos
As we took a battering
Seas clashed with cliffs
In a tumultuous gathering
Debris' been scattered
Like fragments of dreams
In the heart of the tempest
Nature's power screams

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Still stormy after winds gusted at 95mph at the Coastguard watch on the Island

The first time ever

Standard
Monday 30th October 

The first time ever
Despite being careful
Rest, water, and painkillers
Keeps from being fearful
Bedbound for a while
Hoping for a brighter day
Covid, please do one
And go far away

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

View from the bedroom window

If I close my eyes

Standard
Sunday 29th October 

If I close my eyes
Will the monsters retreat?
If I turn away
Will they take a back seat?

Love you so much

Beloved Mum

Sunny and bright this morning, but rainy in the afternoon
