This time of day offers a hint of textured space or perhaps the strong thought of you gives this morning its soft feeling. The odour of longing hangs in the air that lulls me back to sleep… It is as if the birds know of my lot; condescending chirps from branches just beyond my reach. But this space is mine alone; my solitary has claimed it, set it aside for the mourning of your absence… There is space only for your haunting here amongst the cold grass blades… not for the warm, flesh and blood, you… I dance each morning with the ghost of you and I twirl -such rhythmic twirls- in this space I call my own…

Space for reflection
This time of day offers a hint of textured space or perhaps the strong thought of you gives this morning its soft feeling.

But this space is mine alone; my solitary has claimed it, set it aside for the mourning of your absence… There is space only for your haunting here amongst the cold grass blades… not for the warm, flesh and blood, you… I dance each morning with the ghost of you and I twirl -such rhythmic twirls- in this space I call my own…
