Silently they dance
Full silken skirts highlighted
Against dark background

The inverse aligns,
pale partitions shape our dreams.
as the curtain falls.

under the snow moon
pale blossoms; luminescence...
the silence of night

I’m a retired medical secretary and in my retirement I’m enjoying writing poetry, designing and creating jewellery and knitwear, pottering in my garden and spending time with my cavoodle Millie.
