Summer 2013,

-
Whenever I am feeling blue
A day like this
As the sun shines through
Warming me
To the core
In this short life
I could not ask for more

This is my life
Warts and all
Sometimes up
The occasional fall
Stumbling through it every day
Working for an average? wage

The heat within is plain to see
 A healthy tan
Short bared knees
Insects nipping
As the grass is cut
Vigilant
I won't be caught

The life of man is dampened by
The northern winds
 They destroy our hopes
Winters dawn
Causing me pain
Chilled
And sad
Frustration plain.


Now my worries disapear
This month has proven
The hottest of the year
Up with the lark

Despite myself

I wander
In this natural haven
Buzzards
Peer
Pheasants brazen

I wish that every years summer
Could show me such bliss
The sweetest of aromas
Around every ditch
The warmth of the wind
Massages my soul

The star in her majesty
Appears as if golden
The times that we've had
The memories tokens
Stolen by chance
In moments unbroken

Summer is here
Seasons go faster
One day I'll go
But for now I am able
To enjoy all in life

In hats and fine tables

"A joke that I shared with my wife and my cousin,
Bizarrely remembered as the finest of fables"

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

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha
