One Less Star.

©

Tonight
Through the tears
That sprang from your pain
And fell from my eyes,
I looked into the sky
Where there was one less star shining,
And I wept for the world
Where life carries on
Just that bit darker
Than before
You left.

This poem and fifty others are now published in a new collection: The Passing Of The Night.

Exposure.

Three shots, one scene: my favourite naked tree.

 

What is without reflects the truth

Of that which lies within:

Stormy sky, vulnerable soul –

A metaphor of my reality.
