Been to choir twice today
Morning songs, evening tunes
Now I’m tired and so I lay
On the chair, ready to sleep.
Music gave me a good day
Raised my spirits up in joy
Made me feel less dark I’d say
Summer returned
When that music did play…
Long day

Dilemma? Esther Chiltons blog prompt.
Dilemma? Shall I stay or go?
Balance up the positives and negatives?
They balance out precisely!
Canvass friends and family?
Some say yes, some say go.
How do I feel?
Pleased and alarmed in equal measure!
How to decide?
Flip a coin!

My dilemma today? I’ve posted this twice!
Do I delete?
Wet Wales
It rained in Wales:
Water fell on land and sea.
Pebbles rattled in the tide
As the water came to me.
On my head, trickling down.
Back of my neck? Very wet!
Blurred moonlight
Supermoon shakes in the window
My poor nearsighted eyes make it dance
Layers of lemon cheese
with green salad leaves
Like nettle wrapped Cornish Yarg…
Slivers of moonlight sparkle
Watery eyes observe
See through my sight eagerly
Learn a new way to view.
Awful
What would your life be like without music?
I love singing harmonies in choirs.
Stiring sea shanties,
Soaring melodies
Deep, soulful folk songs,
Some pop songs from yesteryear.
Voices mingled
Low and high meld together.
Sopranos and Bass, Alto and Tenor
Winding and twisting around
Yes singing lifts me.
Seahorse
For years I drew seahorses on the sand
A holiday tradition.
He would watch while I drew
Happy in admiration
Sunny, bright days,
Soft sand
Holding hands.
I started doing this
30 years ago
Seahorses gallop into the waves
Dragging my memories
In the undertow
Last week I walked towards a beach
Did not step onto it
Did not pick up a stick and draw
Did not depict this watery creature
I don’t know if I ever will
Again….
Sand particles washed and blown
Away…
Has my tide turned?
I don’t know…
Cat back
He snuck out you see…
Didn’t come back
For two days
I think he has a pad
A place to sleep
When he wants to be bad
Then I don’t see him
Which makes me sad!
Usually he comes back
Soaking wet
To have a wash, grub,
Then off again!
Bushy
Off centre adds interest
Makes you look
At a semi alien bush
Green, blue, happily
Interesting play
With branches displayed
In rhythmic pattern.
Symmetrical versus Asymmetry.
Meditating?
How do you relax?
I relax badly
Meditation is hard
I only remember to
When I’m falling asleep
I suddenly think relax
Then wake up again
Tense and stressed
And have to try again.
Life affirming stories
What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
You know the type of story
You find a rose on your doorstep
Unrequited love?
Years later
After a long illness
And sad losses
The person who left it
Falls over in front of you
Conversation ensues
You find out
It was him!
He was nervous
He couldn’t tell you
We must get together
30 years of waiting
True love took its time
But eventually
Struck!
