The sun glints and shines,
Reflecting through the window,
With it shards of light.
Slowly it goes down,
Behind the trees it settles,
And then goes asleep.
Monkeys came today,
At least one, pulling things out,
One or many times.

Tues 21/04/20 Henry the Cat
Henry the cat sat,
On his throne by the front door,
Waiting for the post.
He only moved twice,
Once to feed and twice to sleep,
But never to poo.
Henry was a fat cat,
‘Cause he ate but never shat,
And that’s why he’s fat.
The mice called him names,
Blow raspberries and much more,
If I understood.
Mon 20/04/20 A Dream in a Rain Storm
This rain was falling,
The sound of it hitting the roof,
Woke me up from sleep.
In the darkness though,
The falling rain seemed to glow,
Capturing each drop.
It held my gaze there,
For a while, I couldn’t leave,
Or, go back to bed.
To sleep I did though,
Mesmerised by the rhythms,
And the rains’ patterns.

I wrote a few lines,
They have just disappeared,
Here is some new stuff.
I should be working,
But the trains rocking goes on,
Makes me want to sleep.
03-03-19 Tired
The spinning penny,
Spins and then falters, falling,
Just one side is up.
Do you feel lucky,
Do you like a game of chance,
Do you want to try?
Tiredness catches up,
And silently sends out sleep,
That caught me just now………………
Wednesday 27/02/19 Tired
I dream of dreaming,
A dream that will take me far.
And wakes somewhere new.
Maybe I shouldn’t
Close these eyes tonight and dream,
But can it be stopped?
And so, I go slow
And then, fall even slower,
Down, ever deeper.
Saturday 19/01/19 Tired Illusions
I’m feeling so tired,
The moments napping away,
I wake somewhere new.
Music is playing,
Distant sounds not far away,
Echo round my head.
Time sliding away,
Whispers that is will not stay
Seeks another place.
Music doesn’t stop.
Songs and rhythms change places,
Seeking perfect sound.
The tea getting cold,
Waits by the side of the chair,
Indifferent to time.

Thursday 03/01/19 Work
I got it cancelled,
Feeling so much better now,
Bought what I wanted.
Back to work is hard,
Meetings, emails and meetings,
A much-rushed lunch break.
Slept on the train home,
Listening to good music,
Woke at every stop.
