Rearranged

Standard
Friday 15th November 

I’m not the same
As I used to be
Time has carved
Its scars on me

Your absence lingers 
A quiet ache
A hollow space
No mask can fake

You’re not here
The world feels strange
Familiar sights
Now rearranged

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Greys for days

Never to part

Memories
That I hold dear
Each one
A shining souvenir
Like precious gems
In my heart
A life we vowed
Never to part

Love you so much

Grey and drizzly all day

A whisper

Standard
Wednesday 13th November 

A whisper in the dark of night
Soft, faint, yet full of might
Dancing on the edge of sound
A secret message sent all round

Cherishing every gentle word
For in its quiet voice is heard
The wisdom of the ages past
A truth that will forever last

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A pretty morning

In the midst

Standard
Tuesday 22nd November 

In the midst
Of doubt and endless night
A flame burns
With unrelenting might
I find a spark
Within my weary soul
Urging me
To reach my final goal

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

If you were here

Standard
Monday 11th November 

If you were here
And still with me
Would laughter drift
As easily?

Would every sunrise
Feel more bright
Each moment wrapped
In gentle light?

In dreams, you stay
A shadowed gleam
A whisper woven
Through each scene

Though time moves on
This truth holds dear
I’d be whole
If you were here

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Calm and glassy sea

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

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
