thoughts come and go
over the years
write them down
reflections
of who you are
or where you were
time
leads and follows
all you leave behind
are words
footprints and breath
that fogs the glass
keep breathing

Unclear
You wander.
We all do.
Uncertainty can often
blur your surroundings.
Unclear.
The map is always there,
the lines signify the path
you need to follow.
You simply have to find
the direction.
It is all in your hands.

A Void
Naked trees,
vacancy in our landscape.
We abide,
patience tested, winter’s
protracted wrath.
Waiting
for the warmness
encouraging growth,
and colour, and
inspiration.
Spring denied,
a void in our lives.
In the meantime
we survive
with an extra sweater, or
two, cold hands, and
the hope for change.j.g.l.

cloud songs
each day
every year ahead
will bring surprises
your eyes
will see
more beauty
your ears
will hear whispers
and symphonies
and your heart
will understand
and acknowledge
all you need to know
listen
see
and feel

Incomplete
Were you thinking
to look up last night
and wonder?
A glorious view, full Moon
exposed,
save occasional clouds
seeking attention.
It cannot hide
behind what you
want to know.I shared the view with
reflections of you, yet never
have I shared
my complete thoughts.
Do I seek clouds?
I go through phases
with the Moon, yet
cannot remain complete,
or tell you what
I do not know.j.g.l.
