Passage

Dark room
No light shines through;
Coldness precipitates

~~~~~~~~~


Post-It note
Message in brief;
Lunch meeting detour

~~~~~~~~~


Birthday party
Another milestone;
Planet earth agrees

~~~~~~~~~


Celebration party
Family banquet;
Feast for fond hearts

~~~~~~~~~


Shopping spree
Goodies galore;
Window shopping

~~~~~~~~~


Busy occupations
Soldier and teacher;
Love affair complete


~~~~~~~~~

Ancient tree
Witness to happenings;
Keeps fond secrets

~~~~~~~~~


Deserted alley
Midnight raindrops;
Black cat rowdy

~~~~~~~~~


Quayside bum boats
Buoyant swaying;
Chilly winds ply

~~~~~~~~~


Library card
Relic of old;
Digital revolution

~~~~~~~~~


My neighbour's child
Stares curiously;
Lift congregation

~~~~~~~~~


Ghost writing project
Fill in the blanks;
Glorify the boss

~~~~~~~~~


Death comes stealing
Prey beyond pray;
Not much to say

~~~~~~~~~


Corpse in casket
Dead relative;
Healthy cremation

~~~~~~~~~


Eulogy message
So and so lived;
Now death prevails

~~~~~~~~~


Thought for the day:
Be brave and kind;
Make up your mind

~~~~~~~~~


Look beyond words
Meaning survives;
Only in light

~~~~~~~~~


Be not afraid
Darkness is canvas;
Stars now come out

~~~~~~~~~


Evening passage
Journey home;
Beyond despair

~~~~~~~~~
