I am from those moments
George Ella Lyon
I am Made of This
I am from the isolation of pioneer spirits-
an ancient beekeeper- a vintage lacemaker
I am from a land of dancing brolgas -
and Rainbow Serpents
I am from agapanthus and flyblown windows-
I am from sunlight bathing shadows
the fluid drain of time- crisp July mornings
I am from the veins in leaves -
butterfly wings
I am from the sudden clutch-
of sad departings
I am from threadbare curtains-
the crystal charity of others
I am from pure grief-
all this
and the breath of stolen dreams

An innerestin state,
with a Kanga just first rate,
and the Brolgas dance with sweetest symetry,
Aussies n Yanks are cuzzins interstate,
Tazzy Tiger said, "yes sure, bloody please."
Thanks mate.....
