The past is all gone
Though nature reclaims its own
Truths are flowering

Poem: ‘Cello’ From An Up and Coming Collection
Cello
The cello has the most resonance
with the human voice.
It will cry and keen
from between your pervious knees,
its wood mimicking your curves,
your cared-for ageing scent.
Tension is drawn across your face,
tactual pleasure-pain
through your bow, deftly poised—
a new universe waiting to flower.
It will outlive you

Spike my emotion
Holding that which is most dear
Englands that are lost

Ascend on music
To far off destinations
On pastoral dreams

Haiku: The Small Voice
Innocence is gone
Integrity vanishing
The small voice still calls
