And I'm getting dizzy 
Stomach very...

Watching the waters of slippery sadness churn and churn and churn

I will never forget
Confusion
An enormous pang of guilt hits me in the solar plexus

as my eyes detect an unrecognisable inferior figure.

I can't see the stars...

Strolling along through Gumgulli Park
where shadows of trees made it quite dark.
Absorbing birdsong filling the air,
taking in beauty with barely a care.

Within our hearts we wept

Why can’t our...
