Last Night

I stood in my garden

Fully absorbed

Sunset golden evening

drifting fluffy clouds

Gentle blue sky

Edged with pale pink hue

I thought of you

Swifts circling above

Tiny wings and hearts

Fluttering and beating

Listening

Receiving whispers of love.

Friends

Ancient brown stone

Weathered and beaten

Standing strong

Dignified, alone

Battered by gales

Biting howling

Whistling wild wind

Torrential icy rain

She, solid as a rock

Steeped in the old ways

Immovable in the raging

Of the wild haunting

Stepping inside

Explosion of vibrant colour

Expanse of welcoming warmth

Harmonious melodic music

Vibrant musicians

Encapsulated in their world

Hot comfort food

Liquid luxury

Two distinct parts

Complete symmetry

Perfect gathering

Sanctuary
