Two things have happened this week. An old plastic bag unearthed itself at the bottom of my garden. At the time I was inspecting a hole in the fence which my dog had made. Po, my dog, was busying explaining in dog language, a complicated series of barks, woofs and whines, how he was using […]

Bleu
Cobalt
As the tiny rivers
Winding beneath
Papery thin skin
I watch as they have slowed
But remember their faster pace
Cerulean
As the plastic cannula
From oxygen tank
To your nasal orifice
Easing each breath
Your hands reach for me
Offering each cheek to be kissed
Royal
As the dancer
In the flames
As you welded and forged
Iron and steel into magnificent forms
Gates, railings but also art
A band of musicians
Prominent upon your mantel
My own, croix de Cathar
A gift like your friendship
Armand
Bleu shall forever
Be the colour of you
Increasingly fragile
As you reach out for Auguste
The great-grandson who shares
Your sparkle from cobalt eyes

Chasse au trésor
There is no map to guide
This treasure hunt
Intuition – my trusted
And only compass
De nombreux cadeaux attendent
My discovery
Each New Year
Filled with possibilities,
Challenges, opportunities
Each day precious
Slipping through my hands
I cannot hang on to them
Nor save in a vault
Moments fly away
Sable dans le vent

“But what minutes! Count them by sensation, and not by calendars, and each moment is a day.” – Benjamin Disraeli
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
– Steve Jobs
“You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by; but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.”
– James M. Barrie

Time
The eternal stalker
Knows each of us
Intimately
Counts each breath
Every step you take
Is it an abacus
Or a calculator?
He uses to keep
Track
Saluting him with
The Bronx cheer
I burn the candle at
Both ends
Up early to walk
The sacred hills
Late nights counting
Stars
Dancing close to dawn
Whatever time is left
Use it up
Wear it down
Regardless how thin
The fabric becomes
It is rich with the sounds
Of laughter,
Salty with tears and
Friends
