Concrete, steel, glass
Do they inspire?
A greengrocer …
gobbled by modernity
Tall skyscrapers
multi-storied complexes
super megastores
bear testimony
~
A blade of grass
a wildflower
things that pulse
with life
give way
to hearts of mortar
Sunlight filtering
through leafy trees
handcrafted sculptures
the garden café
bustling with life
reminding us that
we are not solitary islands
we meet to catch up
so no matter how
lonely it may appear
you are not alone.
~
Write your words
or speak out loud
like on a stage
a field of dreams
where words are birds
set free from their cage
watch them fly
wings stretched wide
they glide through
the wind in a way
that is just different.
And the raindrops
tumble all around
Heaven opens so magically
There’s a rainbow somewhere
beyond the blue sky
There’s sunshine
and bluebirds singing
chiming in the breeze
Bluebells dancing
as the clouds drift away.
They need space
family relationships
overpowering mother
subdued children
work, life
personal relationships
realistic needs
low self esteem
affecting behaviour
thinking, personality
personal development
fragile
misfits in society …
treat with care and love.
Our attitude
towards life
its challenges
expanding focus
beyond self
strengthen another.
In a complex world
too difficult to understand
in those rare moments
the grains of sand
in the hourglass of time
we may see ourselves
as human, sometimes beautiful
reflecting on life
relevant in a hectic
insular world
striving for excellence
perhaps even perfectionism
sometimes trying
to understand life
all in good time …
From a distance
Across the bay
~
Catch a glimpse
Jetty at daybreak
~
Fisherman casting net
Life in motion
~
Island in the sun
Stretches of sand
Shining blue waters.
Morning bustle
Marketplace arcade
Unique bookshops
Quirky cafés
Everyday reflections
People interacting
over a cuppa
Grasping moments … life.
The tide that overtakes
these times, a future
uncertain as the wild sea …
human folly unfolds
on our news-screens
and yes, and yes …
even from these uncertainties
a new sun will rise …
Beautiful dreamer
lover of life
come and enchant me
with sweet melody.
~
Songs of the summer
dreamy with love
beauty and splendour
pleasures of joy.
~
Seasons refreshing
awakening blooms
colours of flowers
perfume and hues.

Songs of the summer
dreamy with love
beauty and splendour
pleasures of joy.
Life’s journeys
are determined
by the sojourner
Nothing can replace
the allurement of passion
~
Embrace
days of sweet
hours of splendour
Remember, remember
days of love and joy
like the magical rhythm
of an orchestra playing
“Days of wine and roses”
On distant shores
waves weaving sculptures
on shoreline
made of sea scented sand
Birds with wings stretched wide
they glide through the wind
~
Island in the sun
majestic palms
breath-taking hues
of pink and magenta
sunsets enchanting, alluring
inspiring beauty of life
wonders of miracles
to imagine … to dream.
Choose to stand still
Behold the miracles
Breathe in the hues
The quiet waters
The lake of tranquility.
What gentle breeze
blows in the
morning song
the early bird
on dawn’s
calling of the day?
~
Calm, sparkling
wide sea of
choices is as
certain as the
ebb and flow
of tide
today
tomorrow of time.
~
Fresh hues of
sweet scented jasmine
pure and delicate
permeating beauty
and all of life’s
amazing wonders
this gem of a pearl.
Brilliant flaming red
tropical flower
of sun and rain
the bunga raya
national flower
of Malaysia
symbolising courage
life and growth
celebrating this
Independence Day.
The beauty of life
is that it brings
on seasons of opportunities
like the changing
colours of nature.
