Ghosts

 

Ghosts

Trees try to make a stand

trapped by the water from the land

Ice sentries advance 

there is no chance

there is no escape

Trees no longer stand

last in the battle

between the water and the land 

Mother Nature

 

Mother Nature

Mother Nature's come to play

She uses tricks to have her way

She's trying hard to blow us all away

Best let her claim victory for today,

stay quiet, indoors and out of her way.

Garden

Garden 

Here we both are

in the fading light,

a mother and daughter,

a gardeners delight.

The flowers unplanted,  

the grass not yet grown. 

 the gardens been turned, seeds waiting to be sewn.

You play with your  ball, or dig in the dirt, 

and I sit

and I watch 

 and hope for you good things from this planet earth.

And when you are grown, with a life of your own, 

please think of me when ,

in the fading light, 

you sit as I now sit 

in a garden at night.
