Whimsy
Observations
Riverina dawn
Riverina dawn
irrigation channels glow
sunrise in Leeton
Drinking on your own
Drinking on your own
seeking shelter under trees
it’s a lonely life
The breezes whisper
The breezes whisper
as the sun sets earlier
a change is coming
Faster than sparrows
Faster than sparrows
the blink of a camera
immortal moment
After vivid dreams
After vivid dreams
emotional responses
don't mention the moon
My mornings alone
My mornings alone
luxuriating in thoughts
pondering feelings
The cock crows early
The cock crows early
lascivious and lonely
dreamy with desire
Missing my coffee
Missing my coffee
when I wake early mornings
bouncing thoughts alone
My outlook is blue
My outlook is blue
looming death dominates view
light shines through the cracks
In another land
In another land
red mushrooms would disappear
among fallen leaves
Lying under wires
Lying under wires
as audible harmonics
swell and ease with wind
Couldn’t change my spots
Couldn’t change my spots
changed my desire to fit in
spot the difference
Wearing all my scars
Wearing all my scars
signs of experiences
so others know me
One day I will leave
One day I will leave
my shell will remain behind
in the web I wove
As the day begins
As the day begins
last night remains in the shade
holding space for dreams
With each beginning
With each beginning
I reflect on how I’ve grown
grateful to grow more
Share your love like air
Share your love like air
exhale love with every breath
make love great again
Round and round we go
Round and round we go
it rarely feels like progress
without stepping back
Without this writing
Without this writing
recording the steps taken
would I know my path?
Those pieces still fit
Those pieces still fit
they just no longer serve me
I have moved forward
Conditions are right
Conditions are right
to arise from under ground
to be held in light
First light of sunrise
First light of sunrise
reflected off glossy black
wings of a raven
Celebrate the flame
Celebrate the flame
in the wake of fire comes growth
live a burning death
Shed the hardened skin
Shed the hardened skin
reveal colours underneath
peel back your layers
The shallow river
The shallow river
dipping in and out of stones
on the valley floor
Get out of the house
Get out of the house
if you’re looking for a sign
perspective can help
Sneaking up on her
Sneaking up on her
as she’s watched by another
her plover lover
Hour before sunset
Hour before sunset
daylight saving feels too long
too early to roost
A pine tree withers
A pine tree withers
bare roots exposed to the sun
where water once flowed
Treacherous sweet fruit
Treacherous sweet fruit
thorny vines strangle the land
blackberries consume
Skimming smooth flat stones
Skimming smooth flat stones
across the broken river
with dry autumn cool
Following a child
Following a child
animated by contrast
I am a shadow
Looking lonely
Looking lonely
behind a Kurrajong's leaves
the Wattlebird sings
From the town of crows
From the town of crows
she flew north and then beyond
into the unknown
