The early dead


The early dead
A pray at my bed

The satellite is fixed

‘A lilac message of love’-Duncan Campbell Scott
‘Mysteriously the leaves sway and sing’-Duncan Campbell Scott

His sparkling songs bursting out

To dream of rest and a honey scent

A magic name and a dreamy choir

The magic player
Like a poppy full of power

‘Another setting of the pleasant sun’-Duncan Campbell Scott

Full of soft moons
Embroidery in the sky
A constellation of family

They say ‘time heals’
But the more I wait
The more time he steals

The reality is there are no shields
The reality is you have broken wheels
No-one cares,no-one feels
Will God answer the prayer of someone who kneels?
I dream,Just one letter with a seal

Charity shop

Tidying the tops
Wiping down the pots
Cleaning away someone’s teardrops
Or trying to solve a necklace tied in knots

Then we sort the CD’s and DVD’s
We sort out the books A-Z
Sometimes we have wedding hats
5 inch heels or comfy flats

Children love the toy corner
We get out the water guns when it is warmer
Everyone loves a big toy
Or maybe a game to enjoy

Lot’s a puzzles and bear cuddles
Wellington boots for dirty puddles!
And then there is the window display
It’s a piece of art,you can’t turn away!

Imagining love,love of his affection
 
‘Gone into the sounds of love’-C.K.Williams
‘Love making that is fulfilling’-C.K.Williams
‘Lattice of a song’-C.K.Williams
‘A petal of sympathy’-C.K. Williams

‘Blushed like almond blossom’-Linda,writing class

‘The bliss of growth’-Sanskrit Proverb

‘To thine own self be true’-Shakespeare

With new eyes
The delight of children

‘That is part of the beauty of all literature
You discover that your longings are universal longings,
That you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone.
You belong’-F.Scott Fitzgerald

‘My home is my retreat and resting-place from the wars’-Michel de Montague

‘As long as you live,
Keep learning how to live’-Seneca,BC -65AD

Excited and curly!

‘For purity was wordless,and perfection’-Robert Pen Warren

The magnet years
