3 of 3 in the ‘Day’ series from Jemverse
Today I will probably work for a while
I’ll start about eight I would think
But first I’ll sit here and look at the world
as I’ve still some more coffee to drink
It’s raining today and the sky is all grey
yet still with hardly a breeze
But from the way that people are dressed up out there
I’ll not venture out lest I freeze
Today I will probably stay warm indoors
I’ll listen to music and smile
cosy and snuggled and comfy and home
where I’m happy to stay for a while

2 of 3 in the ‘Day’ series from Jemverse
By my window of a morning
when my blogs have been updated
I will sit here with my coffee
’til my mind is satiated
For there’s one thing I like to do
before I start my day
Commit to paper a few lines
in my own special way
It doesn’t have to be that long
a few short words suffice
But the commitment is cathartic
and a pleasure which is nice

Crescent moon up in the blue
bright shining in the sky
on a brittle winter morning
really caught my eye
Ethereal there through the trees
daylight just a whisper
I stood and watched her for a while
just in case I missed her
For she was simply stunning
and I felt honoured to be there
trusted with the tasking
of that moment here to share

Still dark when I wake
to stumble from slumber
the light yet a good while away
Cold water to waken
from dreams I’d mistaken
for what was the start of the day

The dawn’s not yet broken
and I’m travelling again
on the road for one more business trip
With birds still asleep
as the night is yet deep
I tip toe up the road lest I slip
The street lights are out
and everything’s dark
the silence is still and complete
And I quickly go
so no-one will know
and the world remains safely asleep

7 of 8 in the Jemverse series ‘Circular Sussex’
Got up early
Went for a wander
as the sun rose on Frogmore Lane
Retraced my steps
to the path on the hill
on my own and peaceful again
There were sheep in the field
looking at me
with a quizzical look on their face
Wondered I guess
what I was about
so early in this lovely place
There was birdsong to hear
high up in the trees
a wonderful music and sound
So idyllic here
at this early hour
with no one but me here around
I walked down the path
to sit on a stile
and watch as the morning took hold
And the warmth of the sun
as it rose in the east
painted all that I saw with gold

[Every year in May, my brother Dave and I go out for a week’s walking. This year we took in a series of circular walks based around our favourite long-distance trail – the South Downs Way through Hampshire and Sussex]

In this quiet time
before the morning arrives
Slumber fades away
And awakening
with my coffee freshly ground
a fragrance pervades
with birdsong chorus
on the cusp of a brand new day
The blue sky greets me
