Scent and echoes from afar
Sea air and childhood

On Autumn VIII
Her tilt of axis
With orbital period
Gifts us the seasons.

n.b Earth’s axial tilt wobbles but the mean is currently c. 23.5 degrees. The orbital period around the Sun is our Earth year. It is described as a sidereal orbit because the Earth’s circuit of the Sun is on an orbital plane that is relatively settled during the brevity of human lifespans.

Hyacinth bulbs shoot
Despite storms, damp and darkness
Winter will sparkle.

On Autumn VI
Butterfly, wings torn
Batted by splatter of rain
Spirals down with leaves.

Sombre trees stand bare
Paths buried by scorned leaves
Lost travellers weep

On Shingle
Rushing stones swept
By surging storm driven surf
Spit and hiss at Man

Nightmare II
Unbolted stable door
Frees untethered fears to run
Roughshod over dreams.

On The Beach
Relentless waves
Assault makeshift defences
Wash away resolve.

Nightmare I
She gallops through sleep
Creates turbulence of thought
Calm in her stable.

Tides
Rocked by the moon
Gentle rhythms of the sea
Soothe the restless Earth.
