Winter, Castle Loch, Lochmaben
There is a beauty
In the cold,
In the white loch,
In the sparkle of winter.
This is a time
When all stops,
All holds its breath,
Water is held still.
Here is a moment
To pause for a while,
And then to listen
To nothing…
.. nothing at all.
I am a photographer/ poet from Dumfries in South West Scotland. I concentrate on minimalist images and prefer using an iPhone these days. As far as my writing is concerned, I usually write short poems (some in Scots dialect), hence my interest in haiku and related forms.
