Shy pink daisies hold their faces up

Shy pink daisies hold their faces up,

their leaves bedewed with 

drops of soft rain

Jewelled colours of Capetonian stones

Jewelled colours of Capetonian stones -  stones

glow with gold, indigo, salt and rose

Sand, stiles and white flowers - Table Mountain

The sand, wooden stile posts and sturdy green stems and white flowers

form a still life of tranquillity near the shores of the incomparable

Table Mountain

Salt softly brushes embossing

Soft splash of pink and green colour - salt softly brushes embossing on

these Capetonian bougainvillea, making their softly fading colours a

patchwork of gentle loveliness

Shy leaves splash jewelled colours

Shy leaves splash their jewelled colours under a weathered stile near Table Mountain in 

Cape Town. Even the tiny leaves hidden from view under the patina of the salt touched

wood are radiant with beauty

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
