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.

Contemplation
Causes me to ponder
I miss beautiful Physgill
In the south of the Machars

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

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
