winter's cold silence
shattered by determined geese
pointing at the heart

40

When they felled the tree
death took a neighbour also
Each heartbeat holds prayer.

39

deep within the hills
i wander into you - you
wander into me

38

wind is sea again
putting land back in its place
voicing over time

37

sinking grey sky glints
fallow land, a dulling brooch
for winter's long cloak

36

our tumbler lives
under miracle sky -star-
circus performers

35 Helped bv Geese

language plants a maze
isolating darkness -but-
honking geese v sky

34

Wrapped up in Golspie's
cloak of shops and scarf of sea
A9 hums to sleep

33

cows so silently
-slaughterhouse cacophony-
stand in wet green fields

32

Thrown into the sky
trembling dice then frozen
rooks tasting autumn

31

the cow that i saw
stood licking another's back
in a rainy field

30 Dove Nestling

what did you see when
blackness fell from the sky to
feast upon your heart

29

each day in my house
i find a new place to sit
to comfort my heart

28

what sparrows know frees
them from a world of small birds
to limitless sky

27

blue sheds my angel
an oasis of summer
blue boats we the sea

26

the colours deceive
senses that seek out blossom
end in a coffin

25

hollow summer days
pass expressionlessly by
huddled months of light

24 Bee

I love how you greet
with wet nose and busy feet
nothing left behind

23

black dog is loyal
no matter how far you go
he treasures your scent

22

strange for me to think
the world is a prison yard
hoops, hustle, or god!

21

spiritual circus
human disappearing act
roll up roll up gone

20 John Naver ii

protecting the hills
that hold land so still - horses -
people here breathe peace

19

spring the architect
making an arch to hide sky
cathedral trees pray

18 after midnight

horses encircle
under gathered net of stars
a white blossom tree

17 bettyhill sea

weave my heart clear blue
sea and sun share such sweetness
spring is a love song

16 john naver

in blue ocean sky
birds effortlessly revolve
sunlight brightens wings

15

the fall of man or
the fall of god? imagine
counting all the stars!

14

my heart was a dog
broken by chains - forgotten -
now embraced it wags

13

trees play with the wind
life comes and goes untroubled
blue sky soothes my eyes

12

under white sky the
stillness of winter trees boast
of antlers for spring

11

my mind is raven
winter clouds fringe every day
the sun is stolen

10

the starlings parade
colouring snow with group hugs
around christmas scraps
