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...

In my green field
...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...

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...

Summertime
...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...

Sailing 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...

Choose Life

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
I notice a young...

little specs down below
watch them scurry to and fro
streams of white and red
filling an ocean at my behest
with broken backs and crooked limbs
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
Furry
Measuring each tiny step

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,

and never emerge.

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...

Looking for Keys At Gotta-Go Time

gosh, look at the time!
he's gotta go
immediately!
wherever he's headed
punctuality is a must,
he can't just go yet...

in utter disarray,
repeatedly screaming...
"where'...
