Be not a Tempest

Prayers are something
we do on our own time
the answers come
in infinities time

gratitude

don't confuse
feeling good
with love

walls

in that room
you felt like
the whole world

Autumnal woodland

a rich panoply
of umber and gold
contrasting against
the conifers green
a glorious sight
to behold
one of the loveliest
ever seen

The lake

It's surface
a perfect plane
reflecting the glow
of autumnal trees
on the shore
above
a cloudless sky
a sudden breeze
frigid as the waters
mars perfection

Gourmet

she had wonderful roses
in many a hue
colours glorious
one even blue
but in her vases
stand only a few
for on her rose buds
the possums chew

They also love the rind and pith of lemons and frequent my lemon tree quite a bit

Gut pain

Swallowing
lumps
of desperation
they settle
in my stomach
like bad bacteria
