Slowly hearing
My heart beat soft
Taking in the beauty
Beneath, within
And
Aloft.
No words spoken
No words need said
For all is explained
In a beat so soft
Inside
Instead.

My Heart Beats Soft
January 20, 2023
Thunderous Clouds
January 19, 2023
Clouds are heavy overhead
Thunder strikes with ominous dread
Rain sweeps down
From
Dark, black clouds.
~
Will the storm come
Wreck havoc
Before it disappears?
~
No one
But
God knows
Have no fear.

Weep
January 18, 2023
My heart cries
My soul does weep
The heavens have opened up
And
Took my precious one to keep
I cry
I weep and weep.
Wait for me
For
I know when my time comes
I’ll seek to be with you there
No more, no more
To
Weep.

In The Bowels Of Remorse
January 17, 2023
In the bowels of remorse
heartbreak
and
deep unrelenting
sadness
Will strive
to come out
attempt to be happy
and
sane
Till that day
I’ll hear that sweet
sad
melancholy reframe
Playing
playing over and over
and
over
over again.

This Day
January 16, 2023I’ve written 2-3 writings, poems for this day.
This day I’ve been dreading since last December.
Ceile, our beloved Rottweiler has been very sick
and we knew this day would come.
She would have ‘Good Days’ eat, chase, her ‘Green Ball’ wag, her tail and cuddle on the sofa. Then there would be ‘Bad Days’ She wouldn’t eat, diarrhoea, puke after drinking too much water from the prednisone she was taking.
We knew, knew our time was limited and short.
Too many ‘Bad Days’ and it’s all over.
Yesterday, we accepted that there was no time left.
None of the writings I wrote for this sad day, say how I feel as much as
this that I wrote many years ago to a friend who had just lost her beloved mastiff.
Please read, think of those who you have lost, hug those still with you
and send your best
to our Ceile for the journey she’s about to begin.
Peace and Love
The bond of Love
We share
Can never be broken
And
The memory
Of
One so loved
And
Loving
Will never be
Forgotten

Snow Falls Silently Down
January 13, 2023
Snow falls silently down
Snowploughs roar
Spreading sand, salt
Across roads far around.
Oblivious birds sit in trees
Hunkered down
A fox yips, a crow cries
All says
A winter’s day is on the rise.

No One Knows
January 11, 2023
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell
Why the world turns
And
Doesn’t fall
Into hell.
Maybe it has
Maybe
There we are
No one knows
Nor
Do they tell.

No More To Say
January 10, 2023
No More
To Say
No more
To do
Going forward
Just
We two.
Loving
Every minute
Laughing
All the time
We will do it
Just
Give us
A little more time.

Standing Still And Breathing Deep
January 9, 2023
Standing still
And
Breathing deep
The world comes into focus.
Then I know
Know what I need to leave
And
What I need to keep.

I Do Remember
January 6, 2023
I do remember
Your loving grace
The innocent smile upon your face
Your strong embrace.
I do remember
Shelter in a troubled world
Your ability of slowing down
A hectic pace.
I do remember
A simple kind gesture
Sweetness on your face
A peaceful existence.
All this I do
I do remember.
