a warm welcome

 
 



What a fantastic night we had!
 
The latest event in our village's Local Community Group calendar took place on Friday. A visit to what had once been a derelict local pub and which is now the beautiful home of Graham and Farah.
 
The mulled wine flowed and the 'bring and share' feast went down a treat. Regrettably, my butlering duties meant I couldn't photograph everyone who attended but hopefully the pictures below give a flavour of the night...

the ice crystals cut my eyes in two

 
 



the ice-crystals
cut
my eyes in two
 
I looked from one
and I saw the surface veins
of the last leaves left
 
and I looked from the other
and I saw
the coal-black depth
of frozen water

all that was all that is all that is to come

 



all that was
all that is
all that is to come
 
the capture of time
 
the hands of a child
 the face of a mother
a dandelion clock frozen in amber
the greying hair
of a warrior woman

all that was
all that is
all that is to come

an earth guarded by three muses
a cratered moon
ascended to the heavens
 
all that was
all that is
all that is to come
 
one last explosion
the final particles 
decaying
to
darkness
 
all that was
all that is
all that is to come
