At the cusp of a day an arm wrapped around shoulders and squeezed Calm descended as clouds parted to a brightness unseen and all was well
There's a sunset coming though a ways off yet I can see the glow to the West as the evening time approaches now a bid at my behest It's yellow, pink and pastel and full of warming glow foretelling of a different time that all too soon I'll know
Had ten days last month for wonderful things to all bring a joy and pull at heartstrings Places to visit and things to see there taking photos to later re-live and re-share Ten days of staycation what more could I need when living in Sussex for this life that I lead? As Sussex has all the 'joie de vivre' I desire with its people and places and things I admire So whenever a moment affords this release I'm happy in Sussex as at home I find peace
At Stopham Bridge, late summer with cool waters down below as the Arun slowly trickles on a turning tide quite slow Sitting on the decking of the White Hart across the way this view is quite breathtaking on this peaceful summer day
At the eve of this day I will dip my toes in cooling waters and there will be the lap of an ebbing tide and the taste of salt on my lips and there I will find peace
Once some several years ago In hallowed ground near here I bowed and offered humber prayer the beach and sea quite near A little chapel on the shore at Easter time at home with crown of thorns up on the wall for people to atone And now as then on Saturday the sun becomes the son as at Easter his forgiveness is complete for everyone
Found myself walking along the Broadwalk heading into the mist the sunshine was there above me somewhere as the sky and the shingle there kissed Ethereal silence descended as I strode eastward along on my walk giving passers by room as they grew from the gloom with whispers there as they talked and it was cathartic and pleasant for me with barely a ripple of breeze winter cold still but healing the ill as I wandered close there to the sea
So we all walked back to Charmouth early morning 'round sunrise with mist in all the valleys and a glow atop the rise Took us about an hour then we walked right back again as the sun climbed higher brightly in the east from whence it came
Before the Dorset sun retired at the end of a fine day we went for a small wander down the lanes around this way At the crossroads we went straight ahead as it seemed the thing to do passed by the Crooch Farm courtyard 'neath a cloudless sky of blue
Pit patter of rain on the water down there almost silent the sound but lovely to share and watching it fall yes every small drop I am mesmerised here lest it should now stop Pit patter of rain the circles at start concentric the spread from the very heart and watching them fall to this precious scene is a magical place I have so often been

Hi All, it has been a really long time since I posted poems here. Recently I have been working on making music videos with Covid as the theme blended with my guitar compositions (to whatever extent I know to play). I am posting them in my wordpress page – https://quatrainpoems.wordpress.com/
It is not poetry in written form but then is there any thing that does not have poetry underneath? These music videos are a series as part of 30 days challenge I took on myself.
