Dark, leaden clouds

Standard
Wednesday 27th March 

Those dark, leaden clouds
Heavy with drenching rain
Fast moving across the skies
Seizing nature's domain
So ominously looming
Umbrella's out again
Menacingly approaching
Puddles flow down the drain

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Dark clouds on the horizon. Rain and hail approaching

Moments unforeseen

Standard
Tuesday 26th March 

In moments unforeseen
The course veered
Leaving behind questions
And hearts seared

Yet in the midst of the storm
Trying to find our way
The echoes of memory
That's where love will stay

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives harbour

Hope

Standard
Monday 25th March 

Hope whispers softly
In the darkest night
A strange beacon
In the dimming light

It won't be the same 
Just know it's true
In the depths of faith  
Maybe find trust anew 

It can't be the same
The echoes cry
But belief shines bright
In the tear-stained sky

Entwined in the heart
Where hope abides
Finding strength
To sail life's tides

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Grey and wet to start the week

The mountain

Standard
Sunday 24th March 

The mountain doesn't seem
That big to climb
With sunshine's warmth
In perfect time
Accept the support
Of nature's grace
Finding the strength
To win life's race

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny, but chilly this morning
Man’s Head
The Island
Lighthouse on Smeaton’s Pier
Clouds building
Quite a few people on the harbour sand
Kitty’s Corner

So suddenly

Standard
Saturday 23rd March 

So suddenly
Without a warning
You weren't there
For next day's dawning

So unexpectedly
In the blink of an eye
The world altered
Beneath the vast sky

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Low tide in the harbour

Never forgotten

Standard
Wednesday 12th April 

Never forgotten
A life may be gone
Memories echo
Each new dawn

Its impact lingers
Present everywhere
A life maybe lost
But you're always there

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Blue skies for most of the day

I miss you

Standard
Thursday 21st March 

I miss you
With each passing day
I think of you
In every way
The pain never leaves
It's always there
But in the echoes of memory
Your love we share

Love you so much
Precious sons

You will be missing

Standard
Wednesday 20th March 

You will be missing
From the future's sight
But the world goes on
Without your light
Such a strong presence
In days gone by
Your absence indescribable
In the silent sky
Every day's a challenge
Without your embrace
Navigating the unknown
In this empty space

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A much better day

Yet you’re all I see

Standard
Tuesday 19th March 

I come to talk to you
Quietly whispering
To say hello
Could you be listening?

Mentioning the weather
As if you're near
What you might be doing
In some other sphere

Where you could be going
In the vast unknown
Wandering and wondering
Where you've flown

Where are you right now?
Can you see me?
I can't see you
Yet you're all I see

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Another grey day

In the midst of darkness

Standard
Monday 18th March 

In the midst of darkness 
A glimmer shines
A ray of hope
In the heart's confines
Even in sorrow
There's strength to find
In the gentle whispers
Of the soul's kind

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

A pretty morning, before the mizzle returned in the afternoon
