Stride northward, O Sun
Fill our hearts with hope and light

Poem: ‘Take Heed’
This morning I heard the blackbird’s song,
a sound of hope, that is spring on its way.
Now I listen to the sounds of nature,
look for significant shapes in the sky,
rather than heed the rumour and ruse,
shenanigans of the twisted minds of men

Poem From A Picture: ‘Doorways’
Doorways to nowhere,
ghosts whisper from parallel worlds
where alternate timelines run,
better worlds than our own.

From lime wood and oak
faith’s testimony emerged
A forgotten world
