Figure of a woman in branches shaped by the wind.


In the Wind

She stands, a tree in winter,
wind blowing through bare branches,
unmoved by life’s hard weather,
a tower against the storm.

Yet hear the tempest’s tearing breath
give tortured voice in hollows worn,
see, the lady slowly shatters
in pieces far behind her strewn.

Red and yellow umbrellas, red and yellow leaves.


Umbrellas

I only ever thought to please you,
autumn colours as agreed,
red your favourite, this I knew,
red as the trees do seem to bleed.

Sometimes you make me want to bellow,
I wonder if you really listen,
I’ve always said my favourite’s yellow,
it’s true, in you there’s something missin’.
