inhaling, savouring
sweet prophylactic bitterness
sharpening
the corners of the mind
bracing the soggy edges
of a coddled ego
inoculating
against the rigours
of the day to come
even decaf yes
(no hate)
our ptisan
for the world-weary brain

The Space Between
Even in silence
there is a rhythm
those moments
between
then
and then
and then
when the world just quietly waits
for the next
beat
everything simply being
in perfect stillness
even me
and my heart is full

Circle Dance
curbside drift
of autumn leaves
edges
dancing in the sun
tuned to light-of-heart
breeze, like
the lace
of mother’s skirt
at her daughter’s
wedding
Gurwood Street, Wagga Wagga

Connected
My heart is lonely tonight
yearning to enfold and be enfolded
in the warm, peaceful, embrace
of fellow love
In the soft of night
I feel for those threads
delicately spanning the world
One soul connected to another
and another
lighting, lightening all hearts
and winding back again
to me
in my warm cocoon…

Fleeting, More Beautiful
Caught by a rainbow,
sparkling eyes hoard the fading moment.
Ah, that one time!
Wollundry Lagoon, Wagga Wagga

(Missing?)(Lost)
the sum of me is the weight
of a thousand memoriesalter or remove just one
I become
no longer me
sometimes I fear
this might be truesometimes I hope
fine grains of
salt
dissolving in an oceandiluted

Hope Framed
In gilded frame a tropical sunset
reflection of the joyous radiance
of a freshly shining couple
Not a lie – not exactly
But she is already broken, he
a victim to belief
that love can heal all
