Where laughter echoed, wild and free,
I chase the ghosts of childhood's dream,
And whispers of yesterday's sweet theme.
Sunday morning, bright and fair,

Peregrine Falcons at Malham Cove
...
A crescent of high cliffs
rooted into a plateau of heathland.
From all directions cloud mottled wings,
dart between the light and shade -
falcons, their wingspans
aerofoiled for instant chase....

And worldly treasures seem forever lost in vain
When power and wealth, like fleeting dreams, dissolve
Leaving me forsaken, with no way to evolve

old age love

Time's canvas, worn and gray
A masterpiece of love's own way
Two hearts, once young and free

sunflower plodding back to its plot
flashing its great yellow lion mane...

God yet felt in that form no sense of lack,
performing all chores, treating work as play,
content living in its underground shack.

Death must be so beautiful

A gentle whisper, a peaceful hue,
A release from life's turmoil and pain,
A serene surrender, a soul's sweet refrain.
With softly closing eyes, and a sigh,
