Letting Go

This cold, cold earth
I heard your voice
you kissed my face
then all was gone
without a trace
in cold, cold earth

This hard, hard ground
no need for sight
for those who lie
in this dark night
not to see again
the sun, the light
in hard, hard ground

Yet comes this sound
there is a sigh
like wind in trees
or the faintest cry
of a flock of birds
in a cloudless sky
yet comes this sound

Away I fly

About Me

Born in England I spent the greater part of my life there before emigrating to New Zealand with my husband in 1999, taking early retirement from a career in nursing. Once we settled I was able to re-acquaint myself with painting and, more recently, try my hand at writing.

Unless otherwise stated all poetry, stories and paintings appearing on this website are the intellectual property of the artist. None may be reproduced, either whole or in part, without proper attribution.
