Staring back at me – someone i know
Only different
Me – but Mirrored
Enjoying a view of myself perhaps?
On the other side of the glass he looks
No one else behind or in front…
Except from my view – everything his side is turned around

In the darkness of night
a race is taking place
up there in the sky
in the depths of space
aiming to be
the first in the sky
they hustle and bustle
and past others they fly
you can follow their path
as they draw in the dark
and watch them all race
till the moment they park
and down on the earth
the trees hang on by their boots
as force from the skies
tries to pull up their roots

Time to take a moment….
Three day weekends are there
To be enjoyed not laboured through
Take a while to move your feet
through a spring green full of flowers
tip toe through the tulips (or daffodils)
Take a moment, to enjoy what’s around you
enjoy a sandwich and cake under a tree
watching the sights and sounds of nature
Take it all in
and let all your stresses go….

There’s a lesson to be learned here….
Never get your best mate to pick your dates
start of the night was brilliant
we met under the stars
and headed for the disco
had a few drinks, and danced for a while
For a few moments, i’d captured her smile
then headed up to the restaurant
for three courses of five star cuisine
conversation was brief – she was staring into space
like she was supposed to be in some other place
was it she thought i was third rate
no – she was thinking about tomorrows lunch date.

Its not as if you missed him at Christmas
but when you put all the decorations
away at twelfth night – a couple of them
found resting places around the house
so kids , you’d best be on your behaviour best
for this crack team – won’t be put to the test
and if you think at all that’s funny
they’ve got hotlines to Santa – and the Easter Bunny!

Getting to the top
of your personal mountain
isn’t the achievement
next thing is
getting the balance to stay there
New targets in sight
often come from
winning the original battle
however, despite how
easy you might see it
reality is – having reached the top
expect a challenge on your spot

Making the most of that precious
opportunity, when in the field
out of the last rays of sun, just before
nightfall – Luna makes an appearance
down below her – the children skip and jig
and above them – feathered friends flap excited as
night begins to fall
children will be called in as shades of red turn dark blue, so
enjoy the time in the long grass, they will

Kitten watched the stalk of green
in the courtyard
travelling towards the sky
tickling his little paws as he
engages the plant counting the
number of leaves appearing on the stalk
#WDYS
In the sunshine of the courtyard
lies a deserted square
quiet as a mouse
there’s not a soul there
they’re sitting in the offices
or parading – firing their guns
so the columns cast their shadows
out in the noonday sun

While Nanna taught the little uns
about life before they were born
the crops grown on the farm
and animals that lived there
there was always something
she could learn from her grandson
like how to get the seeds for the fields
in lightning speed – and all through the click of a button
