Another day dies,
but each sunset promises
a new dawn awaits;
and each dawn anticipates
doors that will open, or close.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Demand
Tides rise, fall, return
with relentless urge, to claim
one more piece of land;
the heart of stone gives itself
a sacrifice to the waves.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Khayyam's Curse
If there was a way
to send my soul on the wind,
I could cross the world;
but there are no whispered songs
that can carry my heart home.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Waste of life, to chase
inedible tokens, through
ruined dreams of peace;
I long for life with the soil,
and the songs of ancient Gods.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

Remembrance
The Sea sang to me,
with the voice of the West Wind,
and rhythm of waves;
its verse bore names of the lost,
in sadness of memory.© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

One more day is lost
to ravening Time, preserved
only in our hearts;
must mere memory suffice
to record both joy and grief?© Simon J Ashcroft, 2026

so, I turn up my collar
