Something

...Is there fresh roasted coffee?
Is there warm cake for breakfast?
Yes, there is dark coffee, yes there is cake.
Did the small blue plate wash its face?
Does the buttery table
spread under the sun...

...Laying in the summer sun in a field of green grass 

In the distance a lake shimmering like a pain of clear glass 

Birds are singing their sweet songs in the bushes and trees 

And the soothin...

...The sun rises dressed in black
clouds cry as Siern's call
whithering in pain from burning flesh, burning ashes
leaving a bloody wound upon the Earth

Where stones stand silent in front of mounds...

...The smell of Smokey BBQ, sticky sunscreen and freshly mowed cut grass. 

Ice-lollies, red freckles faces and long walks around the park.

The sky stays light till late, with a warmer forecast, ev...

Premium MemberSailing on the Bay, a Living Poem

...
On the bay the wind is scurrying
along its flock of waves,
with white crests honey combed, 
to flip over their edges,
on blue foreheads.

The bow of the yacht slices 
through the waves drive...

LIFE

...Much like the limbs of a tree,
Life has away of reaching out towards the heavens.
With roots,
Grounded and fastened steadfast to the bedrock,
We can be firm in our foundation whilst blowing and b...

Sometimes – many times
I’m busier than I would like to be,
I find myself hurrying through the days
as they pass by,
laughing at my scurrying
like a squirrel, they say – hustling

Soul-Searching

...Sitting attentively on a rickety park bench
My thoughts as deep as an ocean trench
People scurrying aimlessly with their daily lives
In time they’ll fade too, into the archives

watch them scurry to and fro
streams of white and red 
filling an ocean at my behest

their hurried toils 
are the subject ...

...My dorm room was bright this morning. It was disorienting.
The sky outside was a cloudless, striking neon blue.
The air was so crisp and clean, I could hardly feel it going in and out.

   Missed the ones
   Not seen
   Sleeping in the culvert
   By the stream

   Sounds carrying
   Rodents scurrying
   The ones not seen

I’ll be gone this summer

...I’ll be gone this summer.
It’s just a fact of life.
One day when the moon settles into the heavens
and the hazy heat loses its grip on the day,
I’ll walk to the woods

An Oasis

...From a distance
It is the most beautiful thing
An oasis created by God
Out in the middle of an empty sea of grass
A symbol of life abounding
With the chattering of birds
And the scurrying of th...

he's gotta go
immediately!
wherever he's headed 
punctuality is a must,
he can't just go yet...
his mind 
in utter disarray,
repeatedly screaming...
