Shafts of Coloured Fires...

Shafts of coloured fires
Splinter the dark skies
For a moment of wonder
But smiles
Linger into
The New Year

I have learnt today...

I have learnt today...
Respect the scaffolding of life
But never be afraid
To test your wings
Once in a while...

Storms Riddle Christmas Eve Skies...

Storms riddle Christmas Eve skies
But the Earth
Shines
On...

Christmas Thoughts...

The little bauble is dusty
Polish it with love

So many shadows...

So many shadows
Sweeping my verandah
That can only mean
So much warm sunlight....

The wake...

The wake of misty grey Winter veils seems so long...
Still dreaming of
The lyrics of Spring...

The last stone...

The last stone in the July river
A stone of achievement
Marking a month of discoveries...
But the quest continues
There are always stones
Earth gems
Waiting in
The Big River...

Instead of ...

Instead of wasting energy
Wondering and worrying about tomorrow's unfilled spaces
I am teaching myself to just deal with
Any ugly features today
And then
Close the door
Tomorrow

Hospitals...

Hospitals are unstable places
A place of questions and fears
But today
A friendly breeze greeted me
No waiting for
My X-Ray appointment...

It felt like Spring today...

It felt like Spring today...
I felt the bravery of tiny white blossoms peeking
I felt the dance of new feathered life
I felt the zing of a warm wind
It felt like Spring today...
For a little while...
