Broken Blue
Mornings like this are the epitome of autumn for me. A magical mix that should be distressing but in its balance becomes quite beautiful. Sunshine beaming in the blue beneath heavy lids of looming cloud; birds soaring gleefully then buffeted by the random raucous… Continue Reading “Broken Blue”
Eating up the Equinox
I feel like this year’s autumnal equinox has crept up on me. I’ve been a bit poorly, and off work, and struggling to write, and suddenly I realise, wow, it’s nearly balance point again. Nearly that magical time when day equals night; light equals… Continue Reading “Eating up the Equinox”
Widdershins Whirl
Endlessly entropic Ebbing away Says the circle so bright Dares the moon in the light Of the day hale and gay So we spin and we stick To the lines drawn before To the curves of our past Salt and water hold fast To… Continue Reading “Widdershins Whirl”

Thirty Circles
Thirty circles Bold and bright Ancient days and Timeless night Wasted moments Treasured slice Of life eternal Entered thrice As child, as maid As mother fair. As soul so heavy Limp with care. Dragging onward, Cutting ruts And dusty trails In gore and guts;… Continue Reading “Thirty Circles”
