R-ise of the beacon begins
O-n seventeenth November;
S-unlight starts to shine,
E-nding the eyes' slumber.
N-ew dawn has broken,
D-ark shadows fade away;
O-pen air welcomes the warmth brought by the nice day.
B-ehold the beautiful morn
U-nderneath the wide lane;
E-ventide is nowhere in sight,
N-o more crying in the rain.
A-s the night says good-bye
V-ile weather does the same;
E-very drop of a lonely tear
N-ever brings a bit of fame.
T-ry to smile at the trouble,
U-ntil the beaming of the blue sky;
R-each the switch to turn off the light,
A-s the night says good-bye.
Just when I least expect it
One too many plates
An extra knife and fork
It utterly destroys me.
A bag in a bathroom youll never use
Just here under the sink
Whats in it, I can't throw away
Maybe one day? Maybe, one day..
The things done are burnt in
A glance with a grin as you step
Now simple things I can't unsee
Replay, rewind, they're on repeat
Hold your hand up on a drive
You check your lefts and rights
We're right to go to the left here, right? Right.
Each as innocent as the last
You dont get these moments
Locked them out along with us
Never exist in your head
In your mind I'm dead, so I'm dead
I'm dead.
I don't care anymore it's too far
Lied to us, of love and care
It's clear you didn't by the way you left
I asked you not to do it this way
One of these days it'll catch you
im not one to receive it, old friend
In winters cold gaze with a fire alight
I'll wait for the moment
It'll hit you like it's inside, insight
Incite the past you run from my dear
I tried to tell you, to sit, and to grieve
Begging you please, not to run away and leave
One thing that hurt and probably the most
You didn't look back at us
Not once not ever.
A ghost..
Hush now, my little one, close your eyes
And drift off to sleep, under starry skies
Let your dreams take you to faraway lands
Where the sun always shines, and the sea is like glass
The flowers are blooming, the birds always sing
The fairies are dancing on gossamer wings
The world is so magic in this fairyland place
And you can be anything, what a wonderful space
So close your eyes tightly, as I sing you to sleep
I'll watch over you, my little one, my sweet
In this lullaby dreamland of love and of light
My darling child, everything will be alright
Hush now, my little one, let your troubles fade away
As you drift off to sleep in this enchanted bay
Just remember that I'm here for you, always by your side
As we journey together through the night, in our dreams we'll abide
So rest now, my little one, in peaceful slumber deep
For tomorrow's another day full of wonder and sleep
When our heart is filled with sorrow and all we see is night
We begin to wonder…to question…if we’ll ever see the light.
If this dark cloud of sadness that surrounds us…will ever fade away.
If there will ever be a time we once again we’ll gaze upon the day.
Then somewhere in our darkness we behold a wondrous sight
as the light of one friend..one star…begins to shimmer in the night.
Before we know it another friend…another star has gleamed
and we realize, though it’s still dark, it’s not as dark as it first seemed.
Soon we notice our night is filled with stars
and we appreciate what the light of friendship can do
because without us ever noticing…
our star is shining too.
And though we understand there will forever be a darkness
accompanying what we say
and what we do…
we also know there is enough light remaining
that will help to see us through…
Verse 1)
Time slipped through my fingers like sand in the breeze,
One day I was running, now I’m down on my knees.
Looking back at the laughter, the love, and the fights,
If I knew then what I know now, I’d have made it all right.
(Verse 2)
The world ain't the same, it's cold and unkind,
I search for my footsteps, but they're lost in time.
Friends turned to memories, love turned to dust,
I'm holding on tight, but the past is just rust.
(Chorus)
Falling down, but rising up,
Each moment’s a chance to fill my cup.
Wrapped in hope, I’ll find my way,
But Lord, I fear I’ll fade away.
(Verse 3)
The mirror don’t lie, shows the years on my face,
Lines full of lessons I can’t erase.
I walk through the echoes of voices long gone,
Wishing they’d tell me to keep holding on.
(Bridge)
Midnight moon whispers, "You ain't done yet,"
Got songs left to sing, got time to reset.
Though the road is rough and the nights are long,
I’ll carve out my story in one last song.
(Chorus – repeat)
Falling down, but rising up,
Each moment’s a chance to fill my cup.
Wrapped in hope, I’ll find my way,
But Lord, I fear I’ll fade away.
The Christmas Story
The Christmas story we were taught so well
And it’s a story that we love to tell
Tales of sweet angels who excitedly
Permeate sky with song beautifully.
On the unforgettable holy night
The star of Bethlehem was shining bright
Gleaming o’er the place of Jesus Christ’s birth
Born to save the souls of people on earth.
Will the light shine for us this Christmas Day
Will the darkness finally fade away
Earth’s in unrest that’s gone beyond control
Lord we implore you to save all lost souls.
The world is in need of peace for healing
From the anguish it's people are feeling
May this Christmas abolish all hatred
With hearts filled with love we will achieve it.
We must find the will inside to survive
It's love and trust that will light up our lives
Born for us, Jesus died for our sakes too
A gift from God above to me and you.
Life’s become harder for some of us all
Gone are joyous days when life was a ball
Despondence just keeps on coming our way
Pray that changes because of Christmas Day.

Background:
The Great Wheelbarrow race is an annual event in May of each year. It replicates the Chinese pushing all their belongings in wheelbarrows , prior to modern transport, to goldfields near where the race concludes. I would imagine the Chinese walked whereas the participants in todays event run whilst pushing an empty wheelbarrow for a distance of one hundred and forty kilometres. The event raises money for local charities.
The Poem
THE GREAT WHEELBARROW RACE
The Great Wheelbarrow Race
it will soon be on again
They'll start off in Mareeba
and they'll run through Almaden
They'll also do Dimbullah
probably stay there overnight
Next day they're on the road again
before any sign of morning light
Whilst camping in Dimbullah,
there's live local music bands, they'll share an evening meal
Another day has come they'll be heading further south
the will power will be tested, stiffness and soreness is what the runners feel
It's tough work to push a barrow solo
gotta keep on running , never get a rest
Whilst the relay runners which consist of three or ten. take turns to sit down in a cab
some they run for fun, others want to prove they are the best
All the barrow pushers
are supported by a bus
The relay teams jump in and out
it seems with little fuss
When pushing a barrow
for over forty kilometres per day
It's a real test of endurance
there's some that fade away
And finally it's day three
there's only three kilometres to go
There's many relieved happy faces
as they hit the finish line in the town of Chillagoe
if a tree should fall and there is no one to hear it
not even the merest susurrus for a poet to capture the moment
the encomium will cease
with each slight
each rejection of the light
and acknowledgement withheld
the all encompassing existence of all
called into question
the glacier crevasses gape
to engulf
the whole
however
frozen to the core
we must
remain undaunted
on a steady bedrock of the conviction
that all existence
isn’t in vain
if we can dream it we will not fade away
like unalterable photographs from bygone eras
we are the essence
the stases
holding
reality of
all life
in the
balance

The stars will fade again this morning
They died a million years ago
As if to give a little warning...
you've lost your way back home
You left me here without a fire
as if desire has turned to stone
When stars come out to light the evening
they're ghosts of stars, that leave without a song
The moon, ..was drifting,.... watching for the sunrise,
while waiting for the light of dawn
While I was watching at the window.....
however, knowing ... ....you wouldn't come
While, there are dreams that last forever....
some dreams will simply fade away,
And treasured times that we remember
we must surrender in the light of day
..............interlude music.................
I've watched the sun unlatch the gate to morning
I hesitate to leave the window's ledge
Your pillow lies untouched beside the bed
The stars up in the sky... have long been dead
One star is telling me it is morning
It seems the others simply strayed
Some things we want to last forever
are illusions we have cherished, but will often fade away
will often fade away........
as if they're made to stray away.......

Lull me into a peaceful sleep,
For there I am no longer sad nor do I weep.
There high above where the red rocks are,
I can see you from afar.
Walking slowly to join me,
Together again the way it was meant to be.
We stand together and pass through time,
Leaving this world I live in far behind.
For these precious moments we are once again one,
But moments pass so quickly and the dream is gone.
I reach out to you as you fade away,
Once again I feel the pain since in this time I am forced to stay.
But night will come again you see,
And take me back where I must be.
Where you'll be waiting there for me,
And for now those precious moments will have to be.
