a sawcut's memory

replenished 

by the morning sun

A silent orchestra of trees

             accompany

                          the singing of the bones

Joining a map of sunlight

the stone Buddha

rests

time multiplied in all its forms

brings the sea

to its endless conclusion

Sitting still under a thought

a glimmer of being

alights

Achingly, 

attending to our ends and beginnings

I retire my bench.

My Mum has passed away

Laura Street

1923 - 2014

On the hillside 

the scent of flowers

making meaning for myself

gratitude arises

At low tide

the habits of the sands 

continue
