Sunday

Sit a while and rest

enjoy this moment

as if it`s your best,

let the stress slip away

sip fresh creamy coffee

and savour Sunday

the funny face of a little cat

missing nothing within her grasp

sticks her tongue out as she thinks

bright eyed and bushy tailed

she waits patiently

knows when to strike

yet she waits

watching

🐈

Good Night !

As you`re drenched in moon light

may your dreams be peaceful and bright
est sweetly by the stars above
may tomorrow be full of joy and love

You are my firm foundation

a rock above a raging ocean

help me to stand strong and steady

while this storm pounds through my life

for I'm safe right here in your arms ♥

Woodland

Dappled sunlight flickers through the branches

specks of dust and leaves floating in the breeze

a blanket of silence fills the forest air

broken only, as a startled deer flees.

the forest floor is carpeted in blue

as I slowly walk along the wooded way

birds and animals active all around me

never seen, but watching me as they play.

a set of wings fly silently passed me

as with elegance, the creature glides on

only the movement of air is left behind

before you know it, the spectacle is gone.

the sudden crack of a twig beneath my foot

sounds so loud amongst the woodland scene

it echoes around the many ancient trees

silence wrapping it up in forest green.

Loneliness

Singular state of mind
eats away at my heart
stripping all the happiness
tearing my soul a part

tears rack through my body
made worse by sounds of laughter
though a smile is worn to please
only sadness remains here after

pain dwells deep in my heart
as I cry through the dark night
this loneliness feels eternal
there appears no end in sight!

Edge of the shadows..

Silhouetted against the light

caught in quiet repose

this elegant creature watches

whilst hidden in the shadows

through the silence of this scene
gentle purring can be heard
as this feline sits motionless
not wishing her world to be stirred 

with her long whiskers twitching
eyes watching for any movement
black fur shimmering in the light
Cilla is the cat of the moment!

A Past Life

In the back waters of life

where all hope is lost

half sunk in the lagoon

lies a scuppered hulk

left there to disintegrate

fade away from existence

rotten wood, slowly dying

broken by time itself

as waters swell all around

for emotions have dwindled

as this shell sinks further

into the twilight years

a hard life can take it`s toll

weaken the spirit greatly

leaving just a shadow

a haunting ghost of a life

resting quietly in this place

a reminder of a great past
