TIMELY MUSIC
these are morsels tasty, fed from your finger tips holy
mother - harmony of sky and earth; a crescendo of praise
rising, on notes of elation, the echo of sound melodious

these are aromas sweet, delicate as a lullaby hushing
to sleep, baby eyes in buntings warmed with the kisses
of humming quavers, in skies darkening for shadowy moons

these are the silvery linings rimming dawn's trimmings
as yet another tomorrow sneak peeps a day ahead to yesterday
singing all the songs; of lament, of cheers, and of hosannas

TRANQUILITY
Then, after breakfast, we walk beside the ocean
There, to savour the sweet saltiness of a special occasion
We bond anew, a special time put aside to share

Joy and sadness into the wet sand compressed
Firm tiny grains, the weight of days travelled to impress
A horizon, unwilling to lift off, staying to care

But the mist is rising, with a breeze for sculpting
Trees into willow wisps, strong, flexible and all yielding
Like a kiss, unspoken, shared with one so dear
