Seeing her,
Eyes such a daze.
Not knowing where her thoughts were,
All just a phase.
If only she would speak,
We would understand.
She is weak,
We lend a hand.
Nothing brings it out,
She . . .

Her soft hands weaving my tight braid
As growing the relationship more strong
Unfold layers, one untouched one unbraid
A nameless mantra I heard in her song
A drop . . .

Sandmen
we're powdery people
that wake up at night
sit on our ankles
and crumble in fright
invisible sisters
glances give chase
droplets of destiny
in watery fates
smooth through . . .

"Beached"
Soon I will be there
This beach I have found
So long I've waited
Drifting around
I've been everywhere
I've seen many shores
It never ends
There's . . .

The world twirls
A juggler's trick
A plate on a stick
While we balance
Lives, love, laughter
On the brim
Music, art, poems
On a whim
Hold on
Hold tight
Enjoy the ride

Suffering eyes
faces of grieving
we sit and watch
growling tummies
and cries
We see and forget
find hard
for an extra buck
but find soon price for
smoke . . .

He is mighty and invincible
Infinite miracles he performs
Managed his incredible feat
Of being worshipped with
Revealed, unrevealed axioms
Sitting on a throne . . .

Although Anzac day has passed, I thought in the spirit of the Veteran's Day articles, I would like to honour Australian soldiers. This particular poem was inspired by the battle of the Kokoda Trail . . .

Collecting sea shells as she walks the beach
In her pocket she absently drops them
Staring out as the waves crash to shore
The sunset on the horizon glowing . . .

Come Ceridwen
Triple goddess of grace and change
The maiden, the mother, the crone
Three faces, three worlds
Earth, the heavens and the sidhe
Thrice loved by all who behold you . . .

Tuesday’s child is full of grace
She wears the lace white skirt
In church she fiddles fidgets
Whistles words where children
Should be seen not heard
And chocolate on her face . . .

Come dance with me.
Come twirl and sway.
Come dance and dance
your life away.
Release yourself
bonds once held fast.
Float down to me.
And dance your last.
