Divine Inspiration

What if the fog
Is the planet
Waiting
For
Divine
Inspiration?

Dandelion Clock

Remembering
Childhood games
He loves me, he loves me not
He loves me,
I stand and look
At a clock of potential . .

Magnificent Magnolia

White with delicate pink
Laid lightly at the base
Emphasizes the beauty
Of the Magnificent Magnolia

Dandelions

Dandelions speckle
The back garden
Like single
Drops of
Sunlight.

Blackthorn and Gorse

Through the thin mist
Glimpses of flowers
Are visible,
Blackthorn and Gorse
Illuminating the
Greyness all around.

Weather or Not

Weather or not

It'll be sunny

Weather or not

It'll rain

Who can tell

By looking at

Clouds which

Are thick

One moment

And then

Gone?

A Walk in the Park

Flowers greet me

As I walk

Lesser Celandines

And Rhododendrons

Producing a

Feast of Colour

For the eyes.

Communications

All afternoon

Talking to friends

And relatives

How blessed I feel

To be so much

In demand today!

Early Evening

Image by Picture Taker 2 via FlickrThe smell of smoke in the air
The sight of stars in the sky
The sound of a tawny owl
Makes this time feel special.
I am grateful for the experience.

Flowers

Flowers in gardens
Flowers on trees
What a beautiful
Time to be alive.

Monday Routine

Image by Clara Zamith via FlickrToday it was different
No swimming in the morning
But a Creative Writing Group
In the Afternoon
Where we shared our
Creativity
And had fun.
Next week it's back
To Swimming.

Church Bells

A Sunday morning
The chiming of bells
Links me with past times.
Brings comfort and
Familiarity.

Chaffinch

A rare and beautiful moment
As I first identify the
Chaffinch on his perch
And then take a
Photo of him
Resplendent in his
Colours as he
Watches what goes
On around him.

Garden Shrub

Previously hidden in shade
It's potential covered
By other plants -
Now cleared
The shrub
Is starting
Anew with
Fresh growth.

Morning Walk

I savour my morning
Walk up the hill
I look at the
Lesser Celandines
All in flower now
Hear the birds
All around
And feel the peace
Of this
Beautiful place.

Memories

And seeing mothers and children
Return from school
Brought back poignant memories
Of my son's childhood
And the school routine.

Spring-like Walk

Despite the early morning mist
The cloud burned off
To reveal warm sunshine.
Sitting on the bank
Overlooking the sea
And basking in the
Warmth of the Sun
It felt as though
Spring had come at last.

Grateful

I am deeply grateful
For the kind person
Who found my mobile phone
And handed in at
The Leisure Centre
This morning.
Thank you whoever
You are for your
Kindness and honesty.
May you have a long and
Blessed life.

#aros

Seeing the sun in the sky and
The gorse all in flower;
Feeling the wind on my face and
The gravel beneath my feet;
I listen to the peace of the moors
And the sound of the sea.

Winter Branches

Dark against the sky
Denuded of leaf
The starkness
Has a beauty
Of its own.

The Five Senses

Image via WikipediaHow easy it is to lose touch
With the feel of a thing
Or the smell of an experience
And often to the little sounds in our lives
As we concentrate overwhelmingly
On vision
And how life appears to be.

Changes

Image by chris.corwin via FlickrBiorhythm changes
Caused by different
Lifestyle patterns
Make the day
Appear to
Pass quicker
Despite the lighter
Hours.

Eye-Catching

Crimson rhododendron
Flowers catch the eye
And hold it captive.

Bee Time

Flowering willow
Attracting bees
The sound of buzzing
Fills the air.

Focus

Where am I going?
What will I do?
Why did I come here?
I don't know.
When I get my
Focus on life
I'll know.
Hope it happens soon!

Startling Sunday

Sunday dawns cool and grey
I'm expecting a quiet day
But matters change and grow
Until I don't recognize
The day that has evolved
In but a few hours
Decisions have been made
And steps taken
That have led me further
Than I had ever anticipated
On a supposed quiet day.

Tabby Maurauder

There he sits
In the middle of the path
Confident of his ground
While resident cat
Sleeps upstairs
Unaware of
The invasion.

Glass of Water

Transparent
Light shining through
Liquid, sustaining;
What a simple but
Lovely thing is a
Glass of water.

Ivy Nest

You may be able to see it
Or maybe not
But there are sparrows in the ivy
Chirping and building nests.

Goldfinch

And gold wing bars
So small and pretty
The goldfinch comes to feed
Arrayed in breeding plumage.

Wings spread wide for landing
The heron returns once again.
