• Wipe away the tears

  Time to Bloom
  
  This garden was forsaken long ago
  Abandoned, it became overgrown.
  Once alive with vibrant colour
  Now dominated by nettle and thorn.
  
  In the midst of choking weeds
  A single rose stood unattended.
  Fighting to feel the heat and light
  Of the Sun, as nature intended.
  
  A storm did come to pass that way
  Which left the garden breached.
  The torrent of rain swept the brambles away
  The rose was finally unleashed.
  
  Free to flourish and grow at last
  To feel warmth upon stems and bud.
  To extend roots far and wide
  To open up its petals again as it should.

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
