Patches

Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life.

Walking my dog on the beach. Seeing him in his element brings great joy to my life.

                       Black Cherries

Late in May as the light lengthens

towards summer the young goldfinches

flutter down through the day for the first time

to find themselves among fallen petals

cradling their day’s colours in the day’s shadows

of the garden beside the old house

after a cold spring with no rain

not a sound comes from the empty village

as I stand eating the black cherries

from the loaded branches above me

saying to myself Remember this

    • Thanks for taking the time and effort to drop in…..I can’t take credit for the photo, it was taken by a friend. Looking forward to going back to that beach in Cornwall soon. He is a handsome boy! Thank you x! 😍
