We all go away.

When you noticed I was gone
Did you howl up to the moon
When you realised I had passed
Which memories
Were built to last

When you see me next
Will we embrace
After the decades
Between then and now
Will you know who I am
Recognise
My now young face

I have studied every move you have made
Whenever I've been near
Rest assured
There is nothing to fear
Your heart is pure
It is so clear
My pride rips through
Negativity disappears

Don't worry now
About what has to come
When life has ebbed
The earthly tide has turned
Discomfort leaves
A feather like kiss
No breath to take
No straining heaves
Struggling to escape
A throat as it quakes

I am with you every step
I have watched you as you sleep
Your dreams are your own
Wishes too make
The important thing is
That you never forget
You are who you are because of me

I offered you kindness
You took it away
I offered you love
A heart like sponge
When sadness caused grief
Making up was fun
In the summer we would run
Fields bathed in green
Warmed by the afternoon sun

Always around
Just say my name
Never too far
I'm listening to you
I may not always answer so that you can hear
My answers may be hidden
Subtly dealt each day.

The soft sand ridden muddy path Under my feet Is cushioned for me by sturdy black boots Sloppy, slick slimy navigating as every part of my leg plays a part in keeping me upright Sinews twist, the cramping ageing muscles uncomfortably held in kilter Heading for home Light retreats The ever arriving daily dusk clocks in I can't see the car quite yet. This place takes me away But only for a short time Drudgery Routine Work Though enjoyable Wears at one Through time, burdened by the worries of others Chinks appear, cracks of darkness on a golden life Wandering, watching  twigs may snap Wind blown pine trees sing in high pitched terror Birds dart Rabbits unseen? But for borrows Buzzards soar A red kite adorned a fence post Squirrels elusive Watching Just in case I might see one race by Even in the periphery of either eye A busy head is a safe head? Freedom from worries Eating and gnawing Snatching at anything that will offset these thoughts Let th

Physgill. Watch the swiftly feeding swallow Sun outside But not it in the hollows Of the shrubs and the greenery Fresh cut lawn Hydrangea, Rose Honeysuckle aroma The fields with the peas, A sea of swaying green Moves like an ocean The sound of the trees Moved and being shaken By the summertime breeze Cattle in the drive way Pheasants shouting loudly The deer are cautious Barn owls swoop in darkness Caught by car lights Badger scurried across the road Foxes rare The game keepers gun. A lamb down a tree trunk Discovered by Rosalind Pulled out by a farmer Care for injured falconry Rescued for love Of all that was around us The freedom The tranquility The sea and the solway Not too far away The Glen with her garlic Appetizing rambling Down to the shore Where pebbles and boulders You arrive at the bay. The cave has a host A man in a smock Ninian the monk Later canonised Who sat in meditation Considering faithfulness Sheltered from harm. C

Anxiety threatens security Compounds the stress Optimism demands you be positive Outlook confounds dismay Should we expect failure? Love and laughter Or tears and hate Kindness follows you If you give of yourself without looking for consequence Receive in kind if luck prevails upon you A truth of life The Good of you honoured so You realise more of your worth When kindness favours you Avoid the scumbags They will drag you under Out of breath You cough and splutter True to your self The Air is clean Oxygen Not monoxide fumes. Plagued by misery Stuck in their own lives Choking on the misfortune of others They are sometimes victims Of a life less fortunate Adventurous Or cautiously treading Fearful of the world out side of windows Most going by are truly honest Wealth is determined Not by cash Abundance in caring For everyone Fills your wallet and your pockets Helps the old cover a draught Create a smile and a laugh Not a tear in hungry bell
