Buildings
Buildings, sparkling, bask in setting light, Seem cold, unliving, as they stand upright. Whilst deep within live hidden trials of souls, Ten thousand-fold, their stories seldom told.

The Dark Before The Dawn
On this Good Friday, we are reminded that it is always darkest, before the dawn.

Beyond the Drapes
I oft’ deny a few more precious winks, To rise from down-soft sleeping place, sublime. Beyond the heavy drapes, as night moon sinks, The light is changing with each tick of time. Feeling blindly, camera case inclined and leaning close aside the rattan chair,… Continue Reading “Beyond the Drapes”
