Almost Imperceptible

In arguing my point
that she needed a raincoat
feeling the mist
falling on my face
yet almost imperceptible
not enough to get wet
only half way to the school
was my hair even damp

Pembroke Village School

and the quiet this morning
because of the rain

Sticky Air

Not like summer
hot humidity
a coolness of spring
light on the air

Yet the sounds, the motion
the waking of morning
tamped down, slowed
as if by sticky air

The web of the morning clouds
lowered to the ground
the world ensnared, wrapped
in the blanket of the mist

Muffled This Morning

The sounds caught
as if in a spider’s web
the lowered clouds
with them in their grip

Muffled this morning
the world slow awakening
the mist of the morning
silencing the dim

The Muffled Morning

The sounds all around me
muffled this morning
the air gray
no edge to the clouds
Brightening yet awash
with muted colors
the rain wrapped round us
not letting go

On the Shore of the Loch

In the land of my ancestors
by the ruins, going down to the shore
the waters of the loch
against the rocks,
the fragments of brick
washing in, by the wind
a mist rising, a glint of sun
shimmering water
above the peated deep
