In dark dreams

Standard
Wednesday 6th October 

In dark dreams
Beyond shadows
Unheard screams
Time has froze
Falling down
Dominoes
Agitated
Nightmare slows
Thoughts abound
Highs and lows
Calm is sought
Soft repose

Love you both
Precious sons

Sunshine and showers

Standard
Sunday 3rd October 

Sunshine and showers
Much brighter then hail
Changing conditions
Adapt and inhale
Breathe in the fresh air
New paths to unveil
Stand strong in the storm
Cast off then set sail


Love you both
Treasured sons

Sheltering beneath a tree during a heavy shower
Looking down on the town this morning, before horizontal rain lashed everything

Warm October sun

Warm October sun
Shines on everyone

Shimmering sparkles
In the harbour
Calm and quite warm
Enjoying the sun
Almost like summer
Making footprints in the sand
A beautiful day

Let the rain

Standard
Thursday 30th September 

Let the rain
Wash away
The fine dust
Of everyday

Life and living
Come what may
Calm descends
Smiles convey

Happy thoughts
Now outweigh
All the worry
When skies are grey

Love you both
Precious sons

Wet and dreary
Misty Porthmeor Beach
A grey harbour
Recovering the lifeboat. Crews at St Ives have been saving lives at sea since 1839

Silhouettes in the sand

Standard
Wednesday 29th September 

Silhouettes in the sand
Passing time, there they stand
Holidaymakers hand in hand
Feeling that life is grand
Shadows in their dreamland 
This is what they had planned 
Face the sun, foreheads tanned

Love you both

West Porthmeor Beach
A few people still on holiday
Cloud reflections
Harbour beach
Shadows in their dreamland
A pretty autumn afternoon
Walking home
Through Trewyn Gardens

set your troubles free

Standard
Tuesday 28th September 

One foot in reality
The other in fantasy
Rationally or randomly
Balancing practicality

Maybe there's no guarantee
You'll live your life happily
But sunsets from the balcony
Will help set your troubles free

Love you both
Darling sons
