she hides behind a mask
not revealing herself
she moves sedately
most of the time
but sometimes
she’s free and lithe
she dances
around in the dark
no one can see
and then, in the morning
she hides her face again
behind her mask

far from the cares
of everyday life
away from the sorrows
away from the strife
sitting together
on a distant shore
watching the tide
washing in
washing out
as the sun descends
and the stars appear
breathing in
breathing out
being mindful
just being

The image shows two lego mini-figures sitting on pavement. Batman has an ice cone and Superman has an ice lolly!
White-out world
cold and stark
bleak as the day
you went away
alone in the dark
heart beating
soul freezing
night closes in
no-one to love
no-one to hold
without you
everything
comes to a halt
please will you
throw me
a rope.
