Count the stars of heaven

Our stories are more than the sand on the shore

The Great Repose

Posted on July 12, 2021 by aperture

Contentment seeps in
As in unison
Voices chime
Goodbye
Knowing it's not
Our last

In such a state
We are retained
Yet our hearts
And minds
Run free

Reuniting with words
Meeting on curbs
Harbour views
And bars
For two

Little fellow friend
Visiting less frequently
Makes each occasion
A happenchance
To see you flit
Happily and freely
Lifts my heart
Captures your image
Teasingly

Be free

Words on repeat

A silent morse code
Pulsing across waves
Heart beat
Constant

A flashing light probe
Late night glows
Lighthouse
Comfort

A font pouring out
Case in point
Dreaming
Contain

All saying sameness
Suredness daily
Proclaiming
Calming

Read this
Only one
To miss

Conservation

Creating space
For recovery
Of species
In the lifetime
Of an organism
Only so many
Life events
Before break down

Conserving
Not many more
Chances to save
Before extinction

Sacrifice us
To save us

One more fire
One more storm
The great divide
And conquer
Before life rebounds
As it must
To breathe anew

All the old growth
Always missing you

What’s in a day?

For two bodies
So far removed
Connected only
By the core

Running onward
Chasing the sun
As one rises
Another falls

‘As the day grows dim, I hear you sing a golden hymn’

Waiting game

Waiting for you 
To wait for me
To decide to leave
What if I disagree?

Passing it on

Posted on July 2, 2021 by aperture

Passing it on
To another one
To keep or return
Treasure or burn
In case I lose it
Altogether

Etched in time
Captured in mind
To love or miss
Remember or spurn
In case we lose it
Altogether

Staccato notes
Braille fingers
Fading then silent
Reading between
Lines of age
Our common fears
In case we lose them
Altogether
