the earth from space
our hopes and dreams
veiled in blue

-Simon Hanson

circle of stones
an updraft of sparks
sweeps into the night

**

**

dissolving edges and boundaries the softness of ocean mist


**

**

visitation
Mary’s face brightens
to another candle


**

**

alone
with the millions
Capricorn night

moonrise
the neighbour’s cat
acquires mystique

-Simon Hanson

barking dogs
another place
another story

-Simon Hanson

bonfire blaze
how radiant we were
bathed in its glow

-Simon Hanson

dewdrop sparkles
my daughter cartwheels
across the lawn

-Simon Hanson

limestone cliff
an ancient tideline
of cockle shells

-Simon Hanson

midday sun
glints of fire
in black opal

-Simon Hanson

visiting the aunts
greeting us first
the garden gnomes

-Simon Hanson

diamonds on black velvet the jeweler’s lamp

-Simon Hanson
