We are the fallen
but we are the golden too –
spring shall always come

Stopping on the bridge;
a low flying egret heads
into hanging mists

In life as in death,
alone, my inward journey —
amongst all seasons
Copyright Francis 2021

Seasons mutating,
a lone cormorant drying —
the sun breaking through
