Cold flowers

Frost on the flowers
Petals huddle together
Seek warmth from the sun

Eternal

Eternal

There's immortal.
And then there's
Eternal.

I've read of immortals -
I've read of their exploits, their battles.
They bleed.
They agonise.
They fall.
And one day
they fail to rise.

Eternal is different.

Eternal bleeds,
agonises,
falls
and dies
only to rise - Eternal.

Sign of the times

Sign of the times

Leaving the forest in an enlightened mood,

A hemlock root did intrude.

Sending me crashing upon my knee.

And the crow flew away mocking me.

Apologies to the reader, and Mr. Frost, for my state of mind. We seem to have lost everything that made us bind. Hellopoetry would not take this when I titled it Alternate Truth

CH #63 PERKS - Carte Blanche

I was given Carte Blanche
To fail spectacularly
At unlimited endeavors
And I utilized that perquisite
With determined concentration
To the maximum that it allowed.
I’m waiting for my banquet.
And the silver plate award.

In The Woods

In The Woods

Trees swaying,
Leaves rustling,
Buzzards soaring.
Wind’s delicate caressing touch,
Autumn sun’s warming golden rays
Filtering through the trees
Onto the woodland floor.
Peace and silence reigns
In between birds’ angelic song
Of gratitude and praise
Drawing the day to a close.

A moment of calm and serenity after a Foraging and Wild Cookery Day in the woods
