In the midst

Standard




Monday 16th December 

In the midst
Of laughter and song
Lies a heartache
That lingers long
A reminder of
The ones we've lost
Whose absence comes
At such a cost

And betwixt
The merriment and cheer
Lies a shadow
A silent tear
For those we miss
Along the way
Whose absence
Haunts us every day

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The gentle rustle of leaves

Standard
Sunday 25th December 

The gentle rustle of leaves
Whisper in my ear
As I manifest my dreams
Without any fear
Envisioning a time
Where kindness rules
And love and compassion
Are the only tools
As the moon rises high
In the night sky
Trying to release my worries
With a contented sigh

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A watery rainbow over St Ives

As the world around

Standard
Saturday 14th December 

As the world around 
Revels in season's cheer
I'll keep your memory close
And shed a solitary tear
At this time of festivities
When all should be such fun
I find myself missing you
My dearest, darling angel son 

Love you so much

Tranquil enclave

Standard
Friday 13th December 

In a tranquil enclave
Under a canopy of stars
Sitting in silence
Seeking to mend these scars
Closing my eyes
Letting the mind wander
Meditating on the path
That's just over yonder

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey, but not as chilly

Unkind

Standard
Thursday 12th December 

Longing for your voice
Your laughter, your smile
But all that I hear
Is emptiness all the while
Memories of our family
They haunt my mind
It was a love so pure
Why was fate so unkind?

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Along the harbour front

Cherishing

Standard
Wednesday 11th December 

Cherishing
Every whispered word
Listening
Its quiet voice is heard
The wisdom
Of the ages past
The love
That will forever last

Love you so much

Calm, but chilly

Weightlessness

Standard
Tuesday 10th December 

Weightlessness
In a realm of delight 
Adrift in a dream
Ethereal and bright
Where the mind transcends
The earthly bounds
Subconscious landscapes
Where the soul rebounds

Drifting through lands
Where the senses blend
Elysian panoramas
Where thoughts ascend
Innermost whispers 
A symphony in the mind
Weightlessness
A place to be redefined

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A much better day, less windy

Closing my eyes

Standard
Monday 9th December 

Closing my eyes
Trying to flee
Your absence follows
Gently chasing me
I miss you quietly
But the pain is loud
A heart shattered
Lost in the crowd

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Windy, chilly, drizzly

In this realm

Standard
Sunday 8th December 

In this realm
Time stands still
The mind wanders
With unyielding will

Exploring the depths
The subconscious mind
Where reality
And fantasy intertwine

Ethereal beings
In shimmering light
Guide through darkness
Of endless night

Whispers of wisdom
From beyond the gale 
Revealing truths
That we cannot unveil

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Less windy, but still very cold

Nature unbowed

Standard
Saturday 7th December 

The lounge fire is roaring
Flames dancing high
Glad to be safely home
Despite the threatening sky

Whilst the wind is howling 
Its own fierce symphony
Salt and sand blasted windows 
Make it difficult to see

Ocean's covered in foam
Waves crashing loud
Such wild and stormy weather
It's nature unbowed

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Looking down Porthmeor Hill this morning
So very windy
Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Towards Man’s Head
