Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
The brilliant song of a goldfinch filters the morning air. Its bright yellow form flirting through the branches of a plum tree, its presence flattering the golden orb of the sun, blazing, unfolding the crystalline lightness of spring.
From the garden, lilies-of-the-valley and lilacs perfume the landscape. Slight wisps of wind carry the sound and the fragrances as far as the eye can see. From another tree, a robin burnished by the sun trills welcome to another dawn.
Rose bushes, honeysuckle and clematis send new life creeping into place. Siberian lilies, bearded iris, bleeding heart and mountain bluet unabashedly contest one another for pride of place in colour and form.
The garden's place is that of the bees, the butterflies, the dragonflies and the birds that drop by for their casual, song-filled visits.
