between summer and winter
night prepares her cloak

awe inspiring thought
oceans deeper than mountains
well over my head

On Water xvii
lunatic repetition
tide in, tide out, back and forth
set your clock by it
n.b. Imagine if we had time pieces attuned to the tides, not set from Greenwich Meridian; would we be more sensitive to our planet’s music?

On Earth
Night’s shadow climbs hill
fills in hollows, outlines trees.
Sun ignites heaven.

Lunacy
she pulls at the watery cloth
tied tight to shore
although it shifts at anchor
it will not come free
so she cannot hide her arid face
from a world that won’t stop
spinning, cannot pause while there
is still a breath of air

It is but a month
Winter Solstice approaches
Darkness leads to Light

On Autumn
Today it begins
Half and half before the dark
And cold returns here

On Daynight
As eyes gently close
Earth maintains steady motion
Spins tomorrow’s dreams

On High
Comet lights path
Between deep space and our star
We remain Earth bound

n.b. I would include a picture, but it’s overcast at the moment, so this shot features the sunrise on 21st June, 2020 here, on the north coast of East Anglia.

Silence
Hysterical times
Switch right off, take hold of Time
Listen to the Earth
