The mind wanders

Standard
Wednesday 19th July 

The mind wanders
Untethered and free
Exploring the realms
Of possibility
What if, it ponders....
With wistful gaze
If only, it whispers...
Lost in the haze
Many thoughts swirl
Like leaves in a breeze
Unfolding scenarios
With effortless ease
Dreams maybe captured
Like stars in a jar
And regrets vanish
Like a fading scar

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Cloudy, but dry today

Within

Standard
Tuesday 18th July 

Within many people
There are wounds that bleed
Scars from past battles
Carefully concealed
Their struggles and sorrows
The burdens they bear
Unseen chapters of lives
They may never share

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Drizzly today

Amidst this tableau

Standard
Monday 17th July 

Amidst this tableau
It's time to unwind
To let go of burdens
And leave them behind
Breathe in fresh air
Let worries cease
Finding solace
In the ocean's peace

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Going down Porthmeor Hill to the beach
Blooming agapanthas
Blues and greens
Not too busy on the beach
A breezy afternoon
Clouds over the harbour
But still quite warm
Holidaymakers enjoying the sunshine
The tide is coming in

Stillness

Standard
Sunday 16th July 

In the stillness
Of a Sunday morning
When time moves slow
And the day is dawning
Thoughts dance softly
With contentedness
A gentle sigh
Smiles of happiness

Love you so much

A showery day
With some sunny spells

Scudding clouds

Standard
Saturday 15th July 

Scudding clouds
Paint the sky above
Their shadows cast
A darkening thereof
Passing showers
A brief caress
Raindrops whisper
Their thoughts express
A tempest's realm
Of nature's display
Moments of chaos
As tree branches sway

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Truro cathedral
Victorian Gothic
The main front entrance

Rhythmic droplets

Standard
Friday 14th July 

As those rhythmic
Droplets fall
With gentle cadence
And whispered call
Nature's orchestra
A tranquil refrain
Wanders through
The wet terrain

Love you so much
Beloved sons

In this haven

Standard
Thursday 13th July 

In this haven
Where time suspends
Peace within the soul
Hitherto transcends
The heart finds solace
A quiet reprieve
As the spirit wanders
And learns to believe

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Harbour views

Where’s my head at?

Standard
Wednesday 12th July 

Where's my head at?
Lost, adrift, and alone
Drowning in the ocean
A tempest unknown
Thoughts swirling, crashing
Like waves in my mind
Seeking solace
But that's hard to find

Where's my head at?
Somewhere lost, it may seem
But I'll rise above
As if in a dream
In the face of adversity
I'll find my way
Let the glow of hope
Illuminate my day

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Dodging the showers today

Bedraggled roses

Standard
Tuesday 11th July 

Bedraggled roses
Battered by the wind
Rain filled blossoms
Deadheads are binned

Love you so much
Precious sons

Heavy overnight rain and strong winds…..
Left many roses on the grass
Battered and bruised
But many remain
Porthmeor Beach
A busy afternoon
Surf School students getting ready to try out their skills
Blue skies after the rains
Calm, blue sea too
Children have fun on the harbour sand
Harbour boats
Clouds are building

Letting go

Standard
Monday 10th July 

Letting go of the notion
Of how things should be
Opening the heart to what is
Simply wild and free
The present moment exhibits
Many treasures untold
Embracing life fully
As protecting arms enfold

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Before the rains came….
