Waiting for the light of day
lingering in spaces I can’t fill
innocence in time was lost
as I wait in patience

eternal stillness

no mask
no cover
no voice
no sound
solo
in my verse
as light fades
***
for pain
has no shelter
nor has love
***
silence

the crimson light
of a newborn day
joie de vivre in
every breath I take
treading footsteps
echo the sound
of silent innuendos
as thoughts fly away
like nectar dripping
invading my senses
where muses play
I’ll write you a verse
and softly whisper
“come play”

Utopian dreams
buoyant in the mist
harbinger somewhere
Contours of my soul

our silhouettes
just
contours
parallel profiles
casting shadows
on a barren wall
and in my dreams
I try to shape
figments
of you and me
now an illusion
slowly fading
turning to ashes
in the memory
of my soul
where I embrace
fate’s devoir
awaiting that melody
“euphoria of love”…

Blowing in the wind

silent love lingers
on your trembling lips
as you slowly decipher
the storms of the soul
in nurtured desires
and a reverie of love
hides below the surface
of dreams and dither
finding shelter
in the hands of delusion
and the secret of love
from times gone by
now just a whisper
born out of ashes
but
like the circle of life
it cannot negate
thoughts of
you and me…
♥ blowing in the wind ♥

convoluted maze
tears mixed with mud and blood
dwindled in the dust

Just a quick update of what’s been happening after the horrendous floods from last week. Many homes are still without power and the truth of the damage is coming to light more and more as the water levels recede. However, the spirit of the Australian people is just unbelievable, this past weekend people came from all over Australia and New Zealand to help with the cleanup… an army of big-hearted volunteers shouldering brooms, mops and shovels began digging and sweeping Brisbane and surroundings out of the mud. In a remarkable display of community love and spirit, so many signed on for duty, ready to just bend their backs to help fellow residents (mates) reclaim their homes and waterlogged possessions from the sludge left behind by the worst floods ever. This brought tears to my eyes … something I will never forget!!!
There are many people who did wonderful heroic and courageous things during and after the floods, but there are many who did things that meant a lot more and might not be recognised. To them we all say thank you!!
This wildlife warrior risked his life to rescue this injured little joey…(I am happy to say this one made it…many did not)
We all are humbled by the love, spirit and courage Queenslanders have for each other in these difficult times…and proud to be one of them!!!!
*Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.* ~Ralph Waldo Emerson (

MY COUNTRY
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!
Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold -
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.
Dorothea Mackellar
Broken wings

like a little butterfly
with faded, broken wings
in its armored shell
waiting for the light of day
innocence in time was lost
scattered in the wind of storm
with bleeding hearts we smile
while everything turns to dust
and in the depths a melody
sprinkled on a thousand hills
as time slowly creeks by
