From All @ Sea 2014 coming soon on Amazon 

The rain came

beating down in sheets of gloom

soaking through the blossom’s dust

feeding shoots in loamy soil

nourishing me.

My tree is wild with febrile roots

the bluebells clamour to be heard

& birds are nesting in the hedge

they deafen me.

The rain came

& so will you I’m told

standing on the corner where

we always meet, hat pulled over

hair that’s wet

with nature’s gold.
