I ran into a man who was mining
clouds for their silver lining.
And for just a smile, you could buy
an endless supply of good cheer from this guy 
to keep the sun in your life perpetually shining.

Mining for understanding

*_Mining for understanding*_ 

There is a mine for silver and a place where gold is refined.

Iron is taken from the earth, and copper is smelted from ore.

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell?

No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living.

The deep says, "It is not

Mining Meteors



(With Wormwood Dreams)
The fire and ice, heaven and hell equinox calibration of scales, scorched Earth
beneath a sky of epic fail of primary colors in triple beam, sale, cine-scene-
totem of hierarchial Archangels of Destruction of Kingdom of the Beasts in the headless sea of humanity unspared.
Where stars collide then fade in burn particle signature infraread, smoke

CHILDREN IN MINING SECTORS

as I see some children
forced to do hard works
in coltan and other illegal 
mines in DRCongo.
terrorise by some group of rebels
daily.
some United nations officials 
support those dark deals 
mostly.
many people stay  
quietly. 
Painful to see polluted waters 
Fish killed by different acids. 
Fishers screamed 
terrible.
Oh! DRCongo is attacked 
in different angles. 
This cruel world 
Filling with

Western Poem

Over there in the West,
Sun rarely sets,
Three thousand miles, 
Social media smiles,
There's our Oz mining industry,
One power-that-be,
Pacifist lives here,
Way too much Uranium, no cheers!

Song For the Coal Miner

The coal miner descends
into the mine much like
his father and his father’s father
it’s his way of life.

Into the mine much like
the others, he goes into darkness
it’s his way of life
as they carve into mountains.

With the others he goes into darkness
far below a world of light
and they carve into mountains
as he finds veins of coal.

Far below

Premium MemberMining Your Fountain Pen Tips

Into the wilds
I trudge
In search of
Osmiridium
I keep an eye out
For
Thylacine
But know they
Got rid of them

I follow the tracks of
Finnegan
Who was on the run
For his life again

The 73rd of foot
Again
Some were thinking
Good riddance to him

Finnegan
Ran blindly
Through the bush
Right across the top
Osmiridium

Yet
He seen that treasure
Denied to me
Thylacine

I guess
We are square
In the circle of life
Finnegan
Osmiridium
And belatedly
Me

Roslyn Coal Mine

Twenty-two miles to the Roslyn mine.
Two blocks beyond, ten headstones you'll find.
All dated the same the registry claims,
though the wind, the ice and acidified rain 
have disfigured and stolen the names of those souls.
My tears they might wash and reveal some of those
but are wasted. They run down my nose.

The #4 Mine blew out in

Patterns In Life

Go through chores as, like a machine
the sunrise, sundown, the rains, and snow
the countryside pass by a train window
but can't drink the green valley to the lees
along the mountain slope the mist rises
swept clean by a light stream from among clouds
sea waves thrash the shore and back they go
the glacial river water flows down to

I was in grade five when we moved up north to a remote miners' town. 
Even my memories are dull. I escaped as soon as I could ~

Whispers To Me

Dams, mining, extraction and fracking!                     
Logging, trawling, oops this urban expansion!

Plastic, toxic sludge and fertilisers,
Industrial revolution, Mass production!
Rising pollution and depleting fossil fuel.
Expanding population, you greedy humans!


Squeezing nature and melting glaciers 
Chocking gases creating Climate

Lovers of the Dark

None came to such a remote place
Near Pannawonica in Australia, without access  
No bird has known it, not even a skink
Troglobites live in the dark caves, never shrink 
Humans came with iron mining project 
But noticed the exceptional nature of the tiny insect;
Darkness keeps them smart 
Bright light kills the insects
