There can be only one outcome.
The wind shifted as a new calm descended Walking the winding road from the beach The onset of calm somehow turned to chill in the air The evening falling into night Sky now becoming a dark azure colour Lit only by a sliver of moon Breath becoming visible indicated Continued drop in temperature Peace was […]
Through wind and mist
Glistening sunlight upon the dew Welcomes a winter morning Crows skawking, cawing scavenge for scraps While a murmuration of starlings Far out over sand dunes Put on a magic show for an audience of one The golden sand today Blackened from constant rainfall and stormy winds Littered with debris Washed in from sea and close […]

A winter morning
Leaves, shivering in a watery winter sun Each minute of our lives may be our last Poems come out of wonderment Say more about life then two-way conversation Though in essence they are one and the same? Standing on a shoreline he pondered Observing as sea and sky In the way off distance worked in […]
