Sanctuary

Standard
Wednesday 16th October 

In the quiet of a sanctuary
Sitting and reflecting
A journey continues within
Where the mind is connecting
Introspection stirs
Like a soft, gentle breeze
Bringing forth mysteries
Hidden in silent pleas

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

A damp and misty day

Deep reflection

Standard
Tuesday 15th October 

In a land of deep reflection
Where random thoughts do roam
The mind turns to pondering
Wandering, contemplating alone
Through valleys of uncertainty
And mountains of rising doubt
Searching for those answers
Trying to figure them out

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum
Cloudy, then rainy later on

Happy birthday

Standard
Monday 24th October 

Here’s to your laughter
Your dreams, your day
In love and with joy
We’ll find our way
Happy birthday, my husband
My world, my friend
Together forever
Our love has no end

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy and drizzly today
Riviere Towans looking across St Ives Bay

The birthday boy
St Ives in the distance

In the midst

Standard
Sunday 13th October 

In the midst
Of the grey monotone
Lies a world
So flat and blown
A landscape
Devoid of colour or light
But within
Its depths there's still a fight

The sky above
Hangs heavy and dark
Blankets of clouds
Cold and stark
No sun to pierce
Through the gloom
No sign of life
No flowers to bloom

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Grey skies today

Taking a moment

Standard
Saturday 12th October 

Taking a moment
And closing eyes
Letting the spirit
Truly rise
Breathing in
All that's good
Then releasing all
That's misunderstood

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Clouds cleared by the afternoon

Whispers in the clouds

Standard
Friday 11th October 

Whispers in the clouds
Gentle streaks across the sky
Icicle fingers stretching
Reaching far and so high

Cold delicate tendrils
Tracing paths unseen
Touching the earth with silence
In a world quite serene

Above they drift and dance
In the quiet autumnal air
Fleeting soft eternal
A moment’s frozen stare

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny St Ives

Contemplation

Standard
Thursday 10th October 

Contemplation
In shadows and light
Peeling back layers
Exploring the night
Answers elusive
Just whispers in air
Hints of a truth
Remote and rare

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives this morning
Truro Cathedral

Caught off guard

Standard
Wednesday 9th October 

Caught off guard
Memories rush
Unplanned
A sharp intake of breath
As I remember
Your face
Your smile
The way you laughed
And the sigh that followed
Lingering
Like the fading light at dusk
In the quiet
At the back of my mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Sunshine and showers today

Solitude

Standard
Tuesday 8th October 

Solitude cradles the soul
In its outstretched arm
Shielding from chaos
Protecting from harm
Within the stillness
Whisperings grow near
Revealing mysteries 
They've yet to hear

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Rainbow over St Ives this morning
Rooftops and rainbow

What do they see?

Standard
Monday 7th October 

What do they see
When gazing from the shore?
A soul disconnected 
Finally seeking no more?
But deep in the stillness
There’s freedom so rare
A moment of peace
Perfectly unaware

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum
