You watched me bloom Saw more than anyone else. Delicately You gave more than most. You let me be in the coolness of night Surrounded by drops of dew.

Tea (written by Sarah Bennett) Tea doesn't solve problems, But keeps them at bay. Have a cup in early morning, Don't face the coming day. An old little favourite! Have a beautiful day, Sarah xx
Sunrise (written by Sarah Bennett) the day was golden / if a bit insecure / the sky was hopeful of the dawn to follow / when no light was left / the rain bled through the cracks in the stars / we thirsted no more / our dreams became the new day / expectant / … Continue reading Sunrise / Poem
