An empty seat for loved ones lost
A welcome space for friends I host;
A weathered seat where memories unfold;
A treasured spot for stories told;
A silent seat to sit side by side;
A reading chair to journey wide;
A place to debate and expand the mind;
A meditative space to relax and unwind;
However, I choose to use this chair,
it accommodates my intentions throughout the year.

Cherish
with
relish.

Catmint exudes
a ravenous desire
to feline tastebuds
this craving is higher
until licking her lips
when needs must retire
in a catnap succumbing
to cozy fire.

Nocturnal song
flirts through trees
enticing from slumber
and restful relief
owls float with fervour
upon silent breeze.

Shallow tide
hollow sand
displace the balance
of Winter’s stand.

Rumination launching
a dream shivers
with anxiety screened
in isolation he quivers
silently watching
the vacuity linger
as widespread fear
grows palpably grimmer.
