The bluebell wood at twilight



When the green comes again

it's like the start of a new poem.

Beautifully written on the finest of papers.

The bluebell wood walks silently into our waiting hearts

as if she never left.

Far away,

like a longed for lover,

the sea.

With the coming and going of the tides,

a relentless pulling of the moon.

These days slip by

living in the silent streets of suburbia ,

lives behind windows

that I know nothing of.

However this earth will bring again

the wildflower fields

the hum of the hummingbird

and the ancient cry of the gull.

Until then,

we rest.

We dream.

We do.

  1. I feel privileged to have had my photo 'shamelessly yoinked' by a talented photographer like yourself!

    I love your personification of the bluebell wood that 'walks silently into our hearts'. That's how I felt when I discovered the bluebells right outside my door.

    How beautifully you write, my dear xxx

Pretty misty stars

A sound of birds singing

 It's early.  And almost a year since I was here. I hear a sound of birds singing  outside my window and a dog barking down the street. ...
