and whispers mist
then simply waits~

YEAR AGAIN….

Another summer
Another day
Sky clear

Birds silenced
By the church bell
Ringing in the sun
Still running liquid honey
Beyond the little trees
….Still no one here.

pass by sweet rosemary…

pass by sweet rosemary
the running cabbages
the beans with strings
keep to the path
you’ll find a field
a secret garden filled
with dancing poppies
but take care….

….not far from the path

‘Take your boots’ she said …

Take your boots
…. and walk where
the shadows define the step downhill
which show the way to
the winding river
take a quick glance back
towards  the top of the ridge
(and wave to me)
before you walk
with care
by the water’s edge….
