BEYOND THE SNOW-CAPPED MOUNTAINS

 

Beyond the snow-capped mountains

A brand new dawn breaks

Night moved onward into light

Across the land and the lakes

SWEET MEMORIES OF OUR CHILDHOOD # 2

 

Sweet memories of our childhood

Sunny days bright and pleasant

Cold crisp Novembers on the heath

Beating the bracken for the Pheasant

MICHAELMAS DAISY

 

Lovely Miss Aster,

My flower girl Maisie

My natural beauty

I love her like crazy

My own precious

Michaelmas Daisy

THE SUN BURSTS THROUGH THE CURTAINS

 

The sun bursts through the curtains

As dawn brings forth another day

And bids us waken from our rest

With every golden warming ray

THE STORM FRONT

 

The gulls screech and scream

Swooping above the cliff top

While white horses ride the waves below

As the tidal surge is broken to a stop

Fishing boats appear to dance

Driven by weather to the south

And make slow progress in the swell

Bobbing towards the yawning harbour mouth

As the weather quickly closes in

The gulls desert the cliff top

Making their way inland to safety

Waiting patiently for the storm to stop 

SWEET MEMORIES OF OUR CHILDHOOD # 1

 

Sweet memories of our childhood

Those days of youth were the best

Golden Septembers in the fields

Gathering the bounty of the harvest


UP ON THE MOOR

 

Up on the Moor

The birds take flight

On the glorious 12th

They leave the hill

With a bevy of Grouse

The trappings of wealth

BATHED IN SUMMER SUNSHINE

  Bathed in summer sunshine Gentle breezes stir the stems But above in the golden sun Grow an array of perfect gems
