then take a bracing draught from the mountain-fed fountain;
for this is welcome shade from the burning sun.

Dire prognostications 
(terrestrial inhabitants blithely heeded)
with contemporary age
fortune tellers foretell day of (w)reckoning,

pitch headlong toward critical limit stage.
That eleventh hour fast...

Glad are the late nights’ burnt

Bustling Bourke Street Mall
Epitome of a retail therapy’s call

The archaic Flinder’s Station

I do not roam the earth 
Wondrous things I do find

forged noble thread
guides a knife to cut or trace
sewing as you slumber
belief is a place right here
inside the very outline

A beginning, bound to no end
Life, an observation to be captured
Freedom sought, by a captive soul

Burn out

keep the pedals turning
Within the cogs inside your mind
Staying late to get it done
With solutions that you find

Taking lows throughout the day
Forgoing all the highs
