Magnificent strength
Gliding on natures updrafts
Surveying the land

Dandelions – Visual 1
Stems rooted as future generations silently drift
Dancing in the awakening of hope’s enlightening sunrise
Buoyed upon the updrafts of fate and synchronicity.

Soaring above the bushfire's flames,
astounded crows, blacker than charred
tree trunks, flap spectral wings.
Numb with loss, no caws drone out.
Wind rushes in updrafts from
the smoky heat: to rise as a vengeful spirit,
to hammer at fleeing pinions,
to witness aimless circles above coal black trees,
now absent of rough stick nests.
Suzanne Delaney
I am asleep
I dream
I am flying
I am the sky
outside myself
above streets and buildings
Time and place
do not exist
I am moonlight
staring back at the sun
Updrafts of light
echoes off distant plateaus
above the blue earth
into the sparkling void
Walking up the stars
through the nine heavens
and all nine earths
I am me
set free
so astally
in a sea of ecstasy....
They dipped our being in dirty grease
added a fist full of kernels.
Life turned up the heat
now-one by one we're popping out
little puffy hatchlings -
sweet songs in our beaks.
Growing feathers and talons
ready to fly now
on updrafts
of silent song.
Ready to ignite the world
that spit fire on our nest
one by one we'll pluck the rubies
from all of their bloated chests.
Into dense fog land
I drift through other layer
Of deep transfixed sleep
Dreams of unicorns and trees
As giant as redwoods complete
Dreams that cause updrafts
In which one can drift up
In a wild dreamscape
Plowing high through space and sky
Landing in another place
Special area
To go visit and enjoy
Peacefulness abounds
Life seems easier to bear
But yet must return back home…
To wake once again
