When the streets are wet, and the skies are grey And the drip drop rhythm of the soft falling rain Plays a sweet melody, like an old welcome friend Then my mind settles and heart stirs again It has been fenced off in survival mode since summer appeared in fiery force Makes it easier to… Continue reading Long lost friend
Tidal Wave
Penned September 2017 reflecting on Hurricane Harvey Seems like weeks, what has been days So elated to feel the sun rays Weathered the storm Anchored in hope Feeling overcome Tired and weary souls The might of the wind and rain Leaves refuse and rubble Our safe places devastated Evidence of all our troubles Oh, but… Continue reading Tidal Wave

A beautiful interlude

Garden Tending
The main garden bed in front of my home has been in a poor state for some time. The soil has eroded. Weeds have sprung up. Leftover roots from a bush that had been transplanted because it was not suitable to grow so close to the house as it could threaten the foundation had sprung… Continue reading Garden Tending
