I am sad
you are no longer here.
Never my love
you belonged to another.
You were my friend
always there.
Thinking of you
why I’ve no idea.
Not a special day
death, birth, other.
On my mind since dawn
some days this is it.
You’d grin, typical you
my turn to smile.
I knew you well
my soulmate.
No need togetherness
we shared ideals.
In heart and mind
I miss you.

Wind howls
round chimneys
through trees
bends double
bare branches
silhouettes stark
sky backdrop
sun squeezes
light through
turbulent cloud
Winter rages
power forces
transitory win
Spring birthing.

Chloe looked horrified.
‘You mean you left him to fend for himself? With that woman?’
Tim shrugged.
‘You know what Gramp’s like. I wanted to make them a cuppa but he told me not to fuss.’
She gave an exasperated sigh and shook her head.
‘You shouldn’t have listened. You shouldn’t have left.’
‘Chlo, he’s getting old not losing his marbles.’
‘Are you sure about that?’
He stared at Chloe.
‘Yes, I am. You’re making him a dodderer. He likes Cassie and she likes him. Stop messing in their lives.’
‘What’ll happen to the house, his money?’
‘For God’s sake! I hope he lives long enough to spend all his dosh. And you know what, I hope he and Cas go ahead and tie the knot!’
Chloe’s mouth dropped.
‘Are they? Tying the knot?’
Tim smirked.
