'scape, 2014, 4*, awareness, birdsong, breeze, combe end, fir, garden, kitchen, letting go, movement, pond, rooftops, sound, stillness, stone, sun, water
in the garden
by the pond
listening to the sounds
flim over the water and alight
still
on the stone
in the sun
movement to rest indifferent
cascade of trill and call
from rooftop to kitchen clink
firry as leylandii drifting
this way and that
on the water
suddenly
stop

awareness wormhole: the pocket
breeze wormhole: the declensions of constant possibility throughout times
combe end wormhole: the retriever the daughter and the mother
fir & stone wormhole: the straight line of stones marking the geometry / of death / settle all their own levels over time to make / a new rhythm
garden wormhole: the meaning is the moment all day long
kitchen wormhole: star / through the kitchen / window
letting go wormhole: the en-gentled / end of a wan / writing retreat
rooftops wormhole: I glimpse above the rooftops
sound wormhole: old age
stillness wormhole: settling
sun wormhole: letter 080514
water wormhole: a splash of fresh water
Hi Lewis these few words have me on an amazing little trip back the garden I helped build as a child, that was about 80 meters long, with waterfalls, little rapids, boarder bits and thinner bits, teaming with life; even snakes! I could feel the poem and live it. Wonderful, lets have more, and thanks for following and liking my blog, best wishes Charles.

thank you, Charles; I am no gardener myself but it has taken me 54 years to get round to writing about gardens

Hi Lewis, one of Herman Hesse’s last set of poems was about his garden and was one of his best, perhaps we only move closer to nature later in life. Best wishes Charles.

Suzy and I are really enjoying our pond, not totally established and we have a lot to learn. But no frog now 😦 hoping that next year the pond will be a great place to relax and enjoy all the work we put in. Next phase is working out how to make our garden intentionally wildlife haven but still be able to walk around it 😀
