Awe Struck





AWE STRUCK



and late at night
I trudge through well-worn paths
alone beneath the vastness
of the skies

awe struck
I stop and stare -
no other footfall echoes
in this vast auditorium

I spot
a glow worm light
wonder if it too may be
as distant

as the firmament
of stars
always remaining
just out of reach

Raptors




raptors





thermal riding

circling gliding

two red kites



I stand transfixed

rapt in the moment



the rest of time

stood still

just another day













just another day





striving to ignore

the sundry aches and pains

the flesh is heir to



I sit and watch

the rains incessant flow –



birds flit

from shrubbery to feeders

wallow in puddle baths  -



I struggle

with a vague desire

to don a coat



wonder if I

dare venture out

to taste



the sodden air

BRIGHT





BRIGHT





blue sky

wisp streaked

with silver grey



the air is crisp -



the frost dressed lawn

crackles

beneath my feet
