All those moments

Standard
Tuesday 5th November 

All those moments
That now cannot be
The love in the days
We will never see

A future imagined
Yet lost to the past
A tower of hope
Never meant to last

Still, from all this 
A new road may grow
It won’t be the one 
We thought we'd know

In shattered dreams 
Truths are revealed
Even in loss
New paths a minefield

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Grey and drizzly today

Feeling the wind

Standard
Monday 4th November 

Feeling the wind
Upon the face
Swirling about
With gentle grace
Carrying safely
All the fears
Wiping away
Those silent tears

Love you so much
Precious sons

Parish Church and the Island

Eyes set forward

Standard
Sunday 3rd November 

Eyes set forward
Hearts awake
We build and bend
We form and break

But memories weave
In time’s vast thread
With whispered voices
Of what’s been said

The past a guide 
A gentle hand
Shaping hopes
Helping to stand

In the dance of then
And yet-to-be
Finding our path
Both wild and free

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Looking over the rooftops

A future imagined

Standard
Saturday 2nd November 

A future imagined
Bright and clear
Yet echoes call
From yesteryear
Dreams rose up
Bright and new
Yet shadows linger
Anguish too

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The Parish Church
St Ives harbour

In the realm

Standard
Friday 1st November 

In the realm of reflective minds 
I wander aimlessly
Through forests of contemplation
Where thoughts flow endlessly

Lost in a labyrinth of doubt 
Seeking the answers I crave
In the shadows of uncertainty 
Pounded by wave after wave

This mind a battlefield
Where ideas clash and collide
Delving into depths of wisdom
Seeking truths that guide

Each question leads to another
Each answer breeds more doubt
Yet pressing ever onwards
Seeking knowledge inside and out

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

The harbour this morning

Towering clouds

Standard
Thursday 31st October 

Towering clouds
Rise vast and grey
Sculpted giants
Of silvering decay

They loom above
In silent might
Casting shadows
Stealing light

Slowly shifting
They drift and sway
Carving new shapes 
In the fading day

Beneath their gaze
The world grows still
Hushed by their height
Caught by their will

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives this morning
Low tide in the harbour

Journeying

Standard
Tuesday 29th October 

Journeying into
The realm of thought
Where Why, Wherefore
And If only are sought
Within that land 
We might find
The truths hidden
Deep in the mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

What was left behind

Standard
Monday 28th October 

What was left behind
In the quiet wake of days
Are echoes of laughter
And soft, familiar ways

Traces of moments
Lingering in the air
The warmth of a memory
A touch, a whispered care

Footprints fading
Yet deep within the mind
There’s a part of you
In all you left behind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny Dorset

Standard
Sunday 27th October 

Sunny Dorset, clear and bright
Fields of green and cliffs of white

The coastline sparkles, wild and free
Waves rolling in across the sea

Golden hills and blooming lanes
Sunlit paths with leafy domains

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Leaving St Ives this morning
Driving past Honiton
On to Dorset
