Inside my Rainbow
...

The Miracle

There was such a crowd
so many
...

The mainland
string of sodium
shadow in misty rain
no more
...

I played dominoes with my grandson
His last year I played dominoes with my father
My grandsons dominoes had animals on their faces
My father’s were the traditional kind
...

Flash of flight
Woodpeckers have returned
I have seen them!
Last year a garden was favoured
...

First frost fears
Approach winter
Leaves uncharted
Single flight gliders
...

Rose petals
tinged with decay
struggling
in the final threads
...

Photograph
Captured image of farming folk
A different generation
Two brothers
...

Tender arms, yesterday
reach out, beyond my prison
they long to embrace me
resurrect the past
...

Lying in my arms apparently contented
you do not fidget or struggle,
water soothes, fascinates
no temptations to jump,
...
