no coin, no crossing

Today would have been mum’s birthday
When she was here
it had to be perfection
Or else
But now
the sea, my bed, the pub,
denial
All have been employed
over the years she’s been gone
Still trying to know
where the birthdays of the absent go
I’ll start with a cuppa
#poetsofbluesky
In spring’s soft breath, your laughter blooms again,
Petals of memory drift through sunlit air,
Each breeze whispers a forgotten refrain,
Of love once held, still gently resting there.

Wing of the Eagle
by Cliff Lake
In which promise does not go unanswered...

Vladimir Mayakovsky, in Listen! transl. Maria Enzensberger(1991) Listen. Listen to the sound of stars speeding away from us. Their dust swirls in the space between, moiré patterns mirroring their dopplered screams. Listen. Listen to the scratching at the centre of the Milky Way, cold, dark, and always hungry. Listen to the sputtering of supernovæ remnants, to the hiss and crackle of the interstellar depths, the birdsong of the Pillars of Creation, the tinnitus left by the blast that was our own beginning.
"Listen".
From a sequence, "Pocket Lights", each starting with the first line of a poem from a City Lights "Pocket Poets" volumes.

The more I write, the more I realise poetry isn’t just expression.
Sometimes it’s how I make sense of things that felt too heavy to carry quietly.
Welcome to the reflection series, where I learn from my own words.

#SilentSunday
A sunflower rises from the cracks of pain,
Turning to light through storms and silent rain,
In wounded soil, its golden petals prove
Even broken hearts can learn to grow in love. 🌻

I use the written word for multiple purposes, often linking emotion to imagery. I write them in my notebook to learn something new about myself.
Welcome to the notebook series. Snippets from my notebook; perhaps some will resonate with you.

Toss your words below
Season your steps each one
Fill the #compost slow
Lost along the gentle shore

#Coast down that steep hill
Stall, stutter, bounce off the wall
Never buried lost
Here's the #poem I wrote earlier today! Enjoy.

Morning dew rests softly on the silent air,
Like whispered memories we used to share.
Each fragile drop holds echoes of your name,
A love once bright, now glistening just the same.

You and me resting in the #duskglow
On a blanket with back to the ground
Night descending, holding hands
We relax and hover together there
Two - both in a state of thankfulness
