so silent this blue turns black
nothing moves on Earth
a meteor streak
a faint schwoosh far off
sprinkled stardust
dissolves into tapestry of night

On Water vi
a fingernail caught
in momentary stillness
beauty of silence

On the Surface vi
Talk flows naturally
Everything seems as it should.
What’s been left unsaid?

n.b. Is life too short to cover everything one needs to talk about?

“What was it like?”
They will ask
When we are older
Where were you?
What did you do?
What was it like?
~
There will be some
Full of learning
Stories of neighbours
Of clapping and rainbows
Of nature; sunlight
~
There will be some
Who saw too much
Were party to this history
Brought low by loss and grief
Who choose not to speak

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.

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

On the Weekend
Friday finally
Shuts up, lies down, rolls over
Into Saturday
