Serene face, paused in thought


A serene face, paused in thought, enhances the doorway
with her beauty and gace
The mellowed stones of the curved doorway
form a fitting background to this poem of carving.
The beauty of Belfast in the quiet late afternoon

Drumming of feet across the desert


African art on burnished candles - you can 
almost  hear the drumming of
feet across the desert and the 
jubilation of the dancer

Balcony - an architectural jewel


Balcony set like an architectural jewel against
 diamond shaped window panes - 
the gentle patina of stones 
embracing the 
Belfast sun
