Skiving summer day,
A wee more than just a jot,
Clouds waltz through my mind.

Beauty of the word.
Beauty of colour and light.
Beauty of the soul.

Burning clouds above
what cannot be held is held
night learns how to rest

Beauty however brief
Is a gift of love
For life and soul.
May the hand that gifts it
Be blessed forevermore.

Summer sun,
One day,
Liminal hours,
Surrendering again.
Thanks given.
Into my heart I receive
Creation.
Enchantment fills the longest day.

So much noise within
Drowns out the noise around me.
Chaos shakes my core.

Suppressing the din takes sticks,
Hours, and yards of colour.

A creepy little goddess
crossed the sea from Orkney,
to keep watch from a quiet shelf.
Ancient eyes,
wee guardian,
Stands watch over my home
with the quiet devotion
of an old friend.

The Sun now relents,
Southwesterly respite comes
Grace in the cool breeze.

Kinship worked with nature’s gift,
Nurturing patience with each chip.
Our bond forms from a found branch,
Care in each notch,
Knowing work that is love made whole.

Enough has be done.
Sometimes one cannot heal more.
The scar is in place,
the only recourse left now—
Honouring the evidence.

Softly
Unveiled.
New
Strength,
Heals
Inside,
Nurturing
Eternal faith.

“You seek perfection,"
My boss sighs, checking his clock.
"Embrace Pareto!
Eighty percent is enough."
Then he asks where the rest is.

I’ve followed Paul since the Twitter days, watching his imagination spill into colour and line. His work has a way of lingering long after you’ve scrolled past. If you don’t already follow him, now’s a wonderful time. His art deserves a much wider sky. #uppapoets of art!

Beneath the rose thorns
small mushrooms rise overnight
from the unseen world
what grows in darkness below
one day flowers into light.

Knowledge is valuable.
Faith remains a gift. 🎁
