Walk on Water  

Dreams walk on water

travellers in time

and space

reflections of myself

spiralling onwards

lost in the silence

floating with clouds

diving with otters

dreams of dreams

of dreams

Balm

Cup of tea

balm for cares

deep and blue

calved of clay

comfort's brew

steaming

mellow

warms the belly

casts a spell

still and calm

by Carys Owen 

Hollowed

Night becomes day

hollowed from one light

as clouds turn inside out

and morning is etched

across the sky

by Carys Owen 

Fuel

A simple meal

fuel for the body

food for the soul

roots us in place

vegetables from this soil

fruit from this tree

water from this well

the way it unfolded

age over age

stored in the wisdom

of our bones

by Carys Owen

          White

Winter stops by

like a cold handshake

icicle fingers 

and piercing eyes

sending small creatures

scurrying for shelter

as frigid Earth reclines

boasting sub-zero bling

invading frost 

steals warmth 

from forest dwellers

two legged, four legged

hopelessly homeless

in sparkling white

by Carys Owen 

         Time Change 

Every year

the clocks fall back

and it is time

for change

comfortable sweaters

mismatched gloves

cozy slippers

woolly socks

warm winter boots

the geese fly south

storms roll in

squirrels fill their larders

and sun disappears

for days on end

books are stacked

candles lit

wood chopped

foreseeing dark nights to come

and the dog curls up

by the fire

preparing to sleep

until spring
