OLD MAN ON THE MOUNTAIN


This mountain path is arduous


The climb is hard and steep!


A thousand times before


I  have tread this way!


But then!


I was younger !


Not hidden by my younger mans clothes 


My beard is grey!


I'm breathless as I climb!


My knees creak as I descend


My heart keeps racing without exertion


As I linger on , with sweat in my brow


 Still Enjoying the beauty around me


My aging mind wonders


Will I ever come back here again!



MISSING PEACE

The  amber lit wall



Perfect pictures and  frames



The heavy curtains



The  creaky rocking-chair 



Missing still!




The peace  within !



MORNING AGAIN

Its morning again!


The sun is out too!


My slumber is not over!


My heart has not rested!


My mind is not free!


Yet each day


Before i know it


Its  morning again !





OBLIVIOUS PASTURES


The hills are green




The sun is bright




Wolves and shepherds  come and go




Scattered and oblivious





The sheep graze!









WAITING TO BE DRAWN


Pencil on the desk lies sharpened



Shades of black and grey



The blank paper



Waiting to be drawn




The picture waits ! 





MORNING REFUGE


Flower at  breaking dawn



My morning refuge



But evening comes



The sun sets




Life goes on !
