A LAMEMT FOR DOUGH.

For SARAH and FAMILY.


In memory's gentle embrace we find,

A life well-lived, a soul refined,

Douglas Gilling, a century's bloom,

A tapestry rich, in every room.


An architect's vision, so skillfully drawn,

Structures of beauty, at dusk and at dawn,

From blueprints to reality, he'd command,

A symphony of structures, across the land.


Photographer's lens, capturing light,

Moments preserved, in black and white,

Through his eyes, the world anew,

A kaleidoscope of memories, vibrant and true.


At a hundred and one, nearly two,

A he journeyed on,

Leaving footprints of legacy, brightly drawn,

In the hearts of those who were touched by his art,

Douglas Gilling, forever a part.


As stars now gather, in the cosmic sky,

His spirit takes flight, like a butterfly,

Fond memories linger, love never ends,

Douglas, the architect of lives, a good friend.

 Desert Sisters

 

DESERT SISTAS



We

four

maintained

a desert

tale of learning to

read the land. 

Our

link

is strong,

our friendship,

long and generous.

Now, as we gather,

to say farewell, it’s sad to say

goodbye. 

We have your story,

implanted 

in our

hearts.

May 

the road

be kind and

filled with adventure.

Write up the blog with

joy,

till

we meet again.

Tap,

tap,

tapping.

 2023

Blackheath Dreaming

Time

for

lusty

Summer to

share  dreams

and live in a world 

without

choosing

fear.

Catch

fragrance,

one old rose,

golden, white blossom,

before petals wilt

in the noonday sun.

Whistle up a mild, cooling breeze.

Baubles of cherries,

ripe and sweet,

leftover

by 

birds,

magnificant feast,

enough to enjoy,

for you and

for

me.

Life in a Fog.


LIFE IN A FOG.

Time
beats,
minutes
become hours
until daylight drops
the silence into dreaming sleep.
Who knows where the weary go when
age shuts down
 memory?
And words
fly
south
for Winter.

VGow.

The Fourth Monkey


THE FOURTH MONKEY

We
are
revered
wide and near,
the three wise
monkeys.
Cover my eyes: see no evil,
Cover my ears: hear no evil,
Cover my mouth: speak no evil

An ancient testament to sense.

Oh, but wait!
Where is the hidden fourth monkey?
He's not doing anything, having a rest in Parliament.
