Equidistant<\/b><\/p>\n
Six months ago the sun was high in the perfect sky and the air was agreeable to all<\/p>\n
Our weather today is different with heavy cloud obscuring the winter warm sun<\/p>\n
The breeze is still mild but the fields no longer scream<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s Local Phillip<\/b><\/p>\n
I travel by train each day but both my journeys are shrouded in darkness and therefore have not seen the new bridge in all its magnificence<\/p>\n
Only its ghost appears as I pass through the station<\/p>\n
I am perfectly satisfied with its haunting<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In late December 2017 a new footbridge was erected at Newbury Railway Station in West Berkshire

Silent Poems<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Winter Morning<\/b><\/p>\n
The scarce birds patrol the orange wisp sky<\/p>\n
I can see them clearly through the winter trees<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bright Sun<\/b><\/p>\n
Bright sun illuminating the barren fields<\/p>\n
You do not play cards well<\/p>\n
As I am aware of your hand<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Silence<\/b><\/p>\n
I am deafened by the silence of the countryside<\/p>\n
It whistles without ceasing<\/p>\n
But does not abandon you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Two Magpies<\/b><\/p>\n
I throw a sandwich into the fading fallow field<\/p>\n
Two magpies show an interest but do not gather my gift<\/p>\n
When they have determined my departure<\/p>\n
They will feast without interruption<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
