An abstract image

Of sail, sea and sky, 

Pleasing to the eye.

A beautifully

Manicured

Stretch of sand

Marred by

A single blemish

The prints

Where my feet have trod

Rare and very beautiful,

The Glasswing Butterfly.

Its wings look

Impossibly fragile

As the image of 

What it is sitting on

Gets Reproduced 

Within their span.

Exuberant,

Delicate,

Yet dominant.

A patch of glorious colour,

Against the blue and white

Of the national flag, 

Bougainvillea

In Santorini, Greece.

Morning light,

Soft through the ether,

Shafting through the cloud,

To highlight pockets of landscape,

Tuscany in a natural spotlight.

Drifting

Down river

A gentle breeze

Filling the sail

And the trees tumbling

Joyfully, exuberantly

Down to the water’s edge

a + b 

Is to a

As a is to b.

A golden rectangle with longer side a,

And shorter side b, 

When placed next to a square 

With sides of length a, 

Produces a similar golden rectangle,

With longer side a + b,

And shorter side a. 

This  mean has been applied

Throughout history, 

The Pyramids,

Pythagoras,

Euclid, 

Da Vinci,

Kepler,

Fibonacci,

Bartok,

Penrose.

The Swiss architect,

Le Corbusier knew this,

Le Corbusier lived this,

Le Corbusier produced this perfectly

In the Villa Stein.

The golden mean,

Or phi – Φ.

I love this spot

It is a place of magic

I used to come here as a child

And see how high

I could swing

The fence posts marched

Down the hill

And I would try to reach them

And on autumn days

When the leaves began to fall

II felt as if the trees themselves

Were scattering gold nuggets at my feet

My home is all I can afford

A farmhouse on a hidden fjord

A place of safety and of peace

Where I find a sweet release

I’m an exhausted pup,

‘Cause my playpen’s big,

And I’ve been flying round it,

Like a mad thingamajig.

I’m on my knees,

No puff left at all,

So excuse me please,

If I sleep where I fall.
