seeking solitude?
a beach is a fine retreat

Last leg of a trip from Western Australia to West Wales. Rucksack and battered sun hat though it was February, on a train lurching its way through Llanelli.
‘Excuse me but I’ve gorw say,’ the only other traveller, she sat across the aisle, ‘I’ve gorw say your socks, your socks are really cool.’
I knew I was home.

On times gone by

there were, in those days
people who invited hugs
strangers shook hands, smiled

Fine!

On feeling better

from far Australia

suddenly, life’s fine

Wake

Tags

On a little bucolic verse

Wake me then when the cuckoos call
When the winds are warm
and the petals fall
From cherry trees

Let me rest while these harsh winds prowl
’til my heart is healed
Of long Winter’s growl
By Sun’s warm glow

Peace

On a quiet moment

a good book
quiet of mind
the cat sings a purr
