#1424 (#120)

myriad birdsong

and no other sound at all

could lose myself here

#1423 (#119)

with only the wind

for company st catherine

waits upon the hill

#1422 (#118)

shadow puppet trees

bereft of colour loom tall

beyond the fog wall

#1421 (#117)

the sea lost to mist

steam billowing from the flue

we wait and keep warm

#1420 (#116)

by the masons arms

looking up at the hills i

feel absolute peace 

#44

the sound of the stream

amplified by its steep banks -

it hardly seems real.

or is this the modern way -

disbelieve reality.

#1419 (#115)

penny dinner hall

a kindness near gone away

lost society 

#1418 (#114)

in the harbour inn

we finally end our walk

with some disbelief 

#1417 (#113)

set out on a stroll

that somehow became a hike

really need some pints!

#1416 (#112)

against it and for

feeling both ways all the time

so 

just sit

relax

#1415 (#111)

blossom falls, dark skies 

confusion of the seasons

(and i'm wearing shades!)

#1414 (#110)

when the sun hits right,

when there’s that feel in the air…

such pure clarity

#43

show the world what you

see, expose what should be seen

by those who would pay

and to those who can change it

and keep it changed forever

#1413 (#109)

show the world what you

see, expose what should be seen

by those who would pay

#1412 (#108)

in the study hall

thinking of generations

that have all passed through

#1411 (#107)

work from study desk

with only productive sounds

rustles and key taps

#1410 (#106)

the light from the sun

is unlike any other

apart from your light

#1409 (#105)

the three dots bouncing

as if someone’s beaming in

Star Trek stylee

#1408 (#104)

every single day

i hope for the best happens

every single way

#1407 (#103)

wild staring eyes

driven by fever within

slaves to the pollen

#1406 (#102)

the pollen filled brain

the mad, rolling ranging eyes

these hay fever days

#1405 (#101)

in the swimming hall 

trying to treat my ailments 

with the extreme heat

#1404 (#100)

Lookup I SEE U

papered windows two black holes

what are they doing?

#1403 (#099)

cycle of the week

routines that keep repeating

with pops of colour

#1402 (#098)

time collapses down

when everything is right there

ready for streaming

#1401 (#097)

dad friend’s son’s gone up

next week i will be alone

in the swimming hall 

#1400 (#096)

when the lesson ends

the ripples fade away and 

reflections return

#1399 (#095)

eyes tight fingers crossed

pedalling with hope that is real

praying for power 

#1398

a rope between trees

a blanket slung over it

an adventure day

in the gym in jeans!?!

how can you stand the heat man?

not all legs the same

#1396

frost across the roof

like an open weave blanket

made out of diamonds

#1395 (#093)

signal and beckon

both together will make sure

that the bus will stop

#1394 (#092)

the doom laden mind

caught on a fence it unwinds

becomes hard to find

#1393 (#091)

chasing dragon's tails

like so much shadows and dust

bad things get away
