Love is a ripple
In the ocean that is life:
Resembling vast waves,
Echoes of love flow stronger
As the ripple moves onwards.

Floating embers swivel golden flames go up
towards marked enclaves a midnight sky
skywards and onwards the stars and moon await

Laughing as to the reasons i forget
Onwards i
Searching for clouds on which to step
I
I regress
And wonder less

Maybe the days onwards
and nights to come
will not be wonderful
will not be beautiful
but at least I am so
glad that you are here.

Leaves turning golden, connected.
Spiraling onwards, they're projected.

Blossoming onwards
Know you’re worthy of success;
God…navigating…
Like flowers of spring,
Your destiny is assured;
God…cultivating…
Plow onwards in faith,
Rowing towards your greatness;
God…fertilizing…

Tinkering over the pebbles
flowing freely onwards
smoothly
leaving in its wake soft ripples
as it travels homewards
blithely.

A Mountain climbing I will go
over the foot paths
Over the cobble stones
Up and up I go step by step
higher and higher I climb
Over the boulders and over the rocks
Onwards and upwards
to the tip pity top I go.

Remove outer sleeve and packaging
Place in large oven proof dish
Ride dolphins perpendicular to the beach
Paint weightlessness with fluorescent paint
Season to taste and add thoughts provided
Bake on medium heat for real before serving

which
is sea,
which is sky-
do horizons
lie?
as
I move,
it moves too,
etched a deeper
blue
should
I stop,
change about,
find another
route ?
can
I gain
certainty-
who will set me
free
sky
or sea,
onwards let
my horizons

we stay till the time,
that our fate string is cut,
served time 4 our crime,
our next step is up,
new adventure sublime...
soul onwards, winged stuff...
to flounder and flap,
to get the beat right enough....Don

The future is unwritten.
Stop-go motion; let all the clocks be smashed.
Forwards or backwards; how do you feel about that?
Onwards and upwards; no turning back.
The future is unwritten, so here is a pen and a notepad.

Lyric
When you reminisce on me
Don’t look on our memories in sadness
But be happy for everything we shared together
And be happy, for I’ve gone on
Life hurt
But life also made me happy
Life made me smile
So I hope you remember me
And smile
And I hope you go on with life
And keep smiling

What lies beyond?
Far over yonder,
What? You wonder,
And you ponder.
Is it lush like dreams?
A land esteemed?
Or arid and bleak,
Lacking even a creek?
Provisions you gather,
Prepare to wander,
Onwards you saunter,
Go forth and discover!

Glutinous IT oozes, seeping IT displays
Odious IT's intent, to trap and waylays
Onwards to IT's purpose, IT suffers no delays
As darkness descends, IT could be end of days
IT circuitously trapped us, in IT's complex ways
Grotesquely IT's inhuman, as our skin IT flays

If I was a lighthouse
By Michelle Morris
24/06/2023
If I was a lighthouse
I'd shine like a beautiful star
My light would echo onwards
Shining brightly and oh, so far
All I'd ever have to do
Is think loving thoughts of you
It would shine from inside my soul
Deep and pure and true

In the corner of my left eye
The full moon
In the corner of my right eye
Someone familiar
On front of me
The pavement, a concrete conveyor belt
Confusion of the city obscures
Annoyingly
In a blink the moon and the someone familiar
Disappear behind things
Other thoughts are conveyed to me
I wonder onwards

Random thots
Two hornbills
On a grevillea tree
I look at them eat seed
They soar noisily onwards
Towards the next seedy tree
Send pigeons I had asked Of
Hornbills problems am reminded
There is no washing your hands off
No pigeon just a couple of noisy hornbills
Resting on one neglected grevillea branch

At the traffic lights of life, I stopped to have a ponder
Shall I turn left or right, or carry on straight ahead and continue on my wander
Onwards is what I chose, as the place I want to go
As what’s the point of left or right, or a U-turn at the lights
When straight ahead may be full of wonder
As somewhere new to discover

I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points
I scanned the firmament along with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself
