    Life is a blur
      It purrs
      It whirrs

purple profusion 
pine green supported....
hummingbird's whirrs    ...

Beneath the teeth of the saw lies I 
Lay still, knowing moving, moving...
There's no quiet I can be
Beneath the teeth
Though the mind whirrs 
Even if I don't move
I'm in pieces by the end
By any hand...

A lawnmower whirrs in the distance
My neighbor has gotten ambitious
The sun shines upon my head
As I sit upon my deck
I feel the warm rays soak into my skin
Am I tanning yet?
The bees are busy buzzing 
Stopping only to drink from sweet blossoms
Birds are calling happily
Back and forth across my rising lawn
Should I get ambitious too
And mow my growing grass?
I sigh
Not today . . . 
Not today...

Lighthouse
shines reflective sea lapping
rocks plus skipping a house mouse.

Stoic
structured aperture aiding
scarred fought homeless heroic.

Sullen
elements outstretched expanse
points a critter to lull in.

Manmade
contraption whirrs about as
a little varmint evade.

Compass 
nils bearing takes point
unexpected practices.

Keeper
mermaid purged surging wave,
tempt failed, saves a dreamer.

Indian summer. 
Fierce days – radiating heat 
From sun, road and walls.

Still, humid nights when
Spent, I hunt elusive sleep.
Blessed air-con whirrs.

Cool dawn brings relief.
Face lifts to every breeze.
Autumn IS coming.

Bright skyscrapers gleam
Across the bay, dawn-painted –  
Gold, rose, mauve and grey.

Captive on sand-flats – 
A tree. Stark, dark reminder
Of the summer floods.

Mother Nature hurts – 
And heals us. But we are more – 
Like her, we’re starstuff....

Wide awake in the pitch of night   
is when they come   
drifting in and out dreams   
dancing between real and fantasy   

declaration sits within the heart 
and is always felt   
each time different but the same   
the longing oft remains   
and roams   
  
the thrums, the whirrs   
easing me off to you   
caressing those night time blues   
staring then stirring   
  
how can I await   
as time passes by slowly   
but surely   
you wait too...
