Being Creative

In the past, I was known to write a little prose and poetry and have found some inspiration to get back and do some more.

There are no pretentions, no dreams or aspirations to be wonderful but just to keep the old brain active.

If you like them, read them, if you dont, ahhh weeeell

A haven, hovel and heaven

The gentle drizzle mists over
Settling insignificantly, quietly
Casting a spell, of silk
Across the views in the distance

The hills stretch endlessly
Sitting in the valley, sheltered
Far from accidental visitors
The bothy a cottage, a story

Sitting on the step listening
The peace envelopes you
Birds singing their songs
Spring shares its promise of joy

The shades of brown and grey
Slowly changing to greens
The stream burbles gently
Searching for the lowest point

At the back the deer watches
Me, the invader in its space
Knows I am no threat and skips,
A white tail departing swiftly

The space, quiet and peace
A refuge from the real world
A haven, hovel and heaven
Home of past and rest of present.
