The Long and Winding Road
Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking "the long and winding road,"
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with faith's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.

REJOICE AND BE GLAD
Awakened naturally—no need to go
to the bathroom—I peeked through
the blinds of the bedroom window and
there it was; had I been dreaming or was
this all just a glorious morning awakening?
The tall thin tree branches with greening leaves
rhythmically swayed and dangled in the air—the
electric wires hanging and swinging lowly before
them—as if waves flowing towards some

Cumulus Rejoice
Most cherished of thoughts, ideas abloom,
spreading, expanding
Overcoming harsh crushing repression,
breaking loose into a fluffy
sacred cloud bound emancipation
Liberation! My spirit takes flight, light,
mellow, blithe and callow
No longer crushed prostrate
'neath the crushing tyranny of the basis gossip
I inhale an atmosphere crisp and fresh,
bounding upward, deep into the wide blue

Christmas Dream Within the Child
I woke last night and read my Poe
and asked is all that we see or seem
but a dream within a dream of a dream?
I know what I don’t know what I know.
In Bethlehem’s cradle, a Child lay still
love's eternal flame, born to fulfill.
Mary, enraptured gazed upon God’s will
as rosemary-scented blessings breathed His name
and angels sang

Australia Rejoice
Australia rejoice
I suppose it can be hard
To meld people together
From other countries and creeds
For an Australia wanting to prosper forever
We have day that we mark
To celebrate our nation as one
Whether your heritage may not be the same
Let us all remember what we have won
There have been times when we were challenged
By others who wanted what
