Peace...

Isolation brings its own tranquillity

Much craved by some individuals

Set far away from life’s routines

It’s the very torment others hate

Some pontificate in angry tongues

Delivering hell fire and damnation

As others stomp across the world

Wearing uniforms of aggression

Terrorising those unable to resist

Diplomacy is not in their language

While this world grows more fearful

Ghosts from history seem to caution

Idle talk costs lives and steals freedom

Without peace life itself cannot thrive…

Light...

Everyday moods can be easily tainted by weather

Once night’s curtains are drawn to reveal the day

Gloomy grey clouds influence a first impression

Whilst inside candlelight casts its cosy warmth

Illuminating all corners of the living room

Shadows dance around flickers of flame

Until shards of light gradually tease my disposition

Inspiration impresses itself upon a fresh imagination

Where clusters of mysterious thoughts get together

Then dark and light merge to become glorious creations…

Placid...

Wisps of peachy pink clouds dazzle

As daytime’s sky moves into night

A gentle lull settles across the plains

Nature has its own very precise timings

Country life’s routine gradually eases

Slumber soon brings a calming quietness

Counterpanes of velvety green landscape

Blanket night’s dreams under starry twinkles…
