traffic accident
engine off, birdsong, fresh air
good to be alive

on time

crash out, power down
just let the clock tick over
bounce back tomorrow

on need

it cannot be found
through the bottom of a glass
for love nor money

slipping on pebbles

this feels like treading water

yet gentle progress

if overwhelmed

put everything down, big breath

then go fill kettle

n.b. That’s it for ‘On Water’ for now, I feel the blog has reached saturation point with this theme and fifty is a good number to pause on. I will ensure to drip-feed more into the On Water series as I go. Thank you to everyone who has read, liked and commented on the series. Tomorrow sees the start of a new(ish) theme

What is going on?

Everything was under control

Now? I’m not so sure.

n.b. Hey, Life’s like that. Sometimes it’s best to just go with the flow.

On the Road xxvi

Restlessness ceases

Traveller’s weary heart breathes

Grass soft underfoot

n.b. God bless her and all who sail in her.

Daylight

Dawn chorus glitters

Gloom shifts; brightens, lightens, lifts

Sun glints off the key

n.b. Sometimes one word, in a haystack of conversation, is the missing needle that is sought.

Head Wind

Nothing plays music

Swirl, swoosh, schwash air-sea rhythms

Shingle shifts on sand
