Somewhere A Soft Wind

Splendour in spring

The flowers

dance and sing

~

Somewhere a hill

covered in green and gold

~

Soft winds warm

this moment

of pure delight

~

Girl on a bicycle

riding slowly

to the Apple Rose bakery

~

I walk fast hopefully

Serendipity

Imagination’s

great wonder of

escape

catches thoughts

of winter’s joy and beauty

that sparkle of sunshine

in her eyes

Music has a far more

pleasing sound

Listen

to the gentle rain

Colourful wildflowers

waltz a dreamy

rhapsody of love

The Crescent Arc

Sweetgum trees

silhouette majestic sunset

Enchantment with artistic wonders

highlighted by the crescent

on nights like these

Across edge of twilight

where soft lavender hues

tell the tale of

the golden arc

~

The night is clear and cool

sliver of crescent moon

hangs bright in the sky

radiating a warm glow

reflecting beauty

illuminating this autumn night

So Simple Yet

Integrity of character

is strength

Stand tall

Seeds At Dawn

How the first light

makes gold the day

~

Seeds at dawn

great with bright thoughts

~

Birdsongs flute from trees

It is peaceful

Emerald valleys and

jade rainforests

~

Visions of these

to discover

Seasons of opportunities …

Imagine …

As I fly over

vast stretches

of miniatures

I see tiny trees

minuscule rivers

sheep strewn acres

on meadows

of wildflowers

A sky like a marble top

cotton wool clouds swirl

and drift against

the shadowed lilac hills

into a soft beige

landscape of the wild country

Great Southern Land

enchanting landscape

of beauty

A Certain Tenderness

Spring

when flowers

speak and sing

I listen to

the gentle rain

In nature

one of those

leisurely moments

A bird sings

Listen

Now there’s nothing

but complete silence

Listen

 

A Tale Of Art

Wonder walls

Chirpy backdrop

Mural street art

Bright hues

The art walk

Public space

Street art versus graffiti

Any difference

in forms of art

or expression?

An Indifferent Sky

Once a field of water

surrounding the bay

Now the fishing trawlers

lie still

A fisherman gaze at

the barren sea

wondering …

what little …

there’s left

~

The village deserted

Haze hovers over the hills

But a moment of beauty

as rain clouds part

the moon peeps

a rainbow of hope

across the indifferent sky

Music Within The Words

The music of life

it seems to me

a paradise where

roses bloom

beside a garden wall

when stars are bright

the nightingale sings

a melody of

love’s refrain

a song at twilight

a symphony of hues

the magic of poetry!

A Landscape Lost

A fisherman’s wharf

at dawn

basking in the warm glow

of a new day

Vibrant landscape

glimpse of the fishing island

An immense sense

of incredible beauty

or possibility?

That spark …

The rarity of that moment

like the day

you pick the flowers

in spring

and the air smells of lavender

a vision of your journey

as bright

as the sparkling stars

With these fleeting days

and through the passage of time

the season bursts

beauty of life

awakened

 

An Unspoken Language

Daybreak

Beauty lies on an unknown beach

Rhythm and echo

A jetty from a distance

The depth of

a dreamy dawn

In your solitude

seeing silence speaking

A Sense Of Mystery

I see

calm waters

silence in

the air

a boat

in the middle

of nowhere

Contemporary Stage

Today’s world

ideas of expression

fashion

music

movies

other media

all clamouring

for self gratification

stardom

riches.

~

People seeking

meaning of conformity

thoughtful questions

idealistic forms of

consumerism

materialism

reality and talent shows

fame and fortune.

~

Power and control

versus

passion and enthusiasm

talent, creativity

individuality

versus

conformity?

~

Such are realistic

mind provoking thoughts

cognitive skills

working out

critical issues

faced by

both the individual

and wider world.

~

The search

for answers

challenges

confronts

time to consider

these perspectives

aptly portrayed

this contemporary stage

drawing on the audience

senses and thoughts

to connect

to relate

meaningful changes

for a breakthrough?

A Field Of Dreams

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.

Unquenchable Optimism

The winds play

and dance for joy

solitude

a calm reflection.

Way Of Thinking

Focus on the prize

at all times

The prize is

freedom from …

to overcome.

Silence Is Golden

One lone star at night

soon the sky is crowded with

countless scintillating lights

~

Thousands of stars across

the silent night

illuminates brilliantly, sparkling

~

This beautiful heavenly night

and the stillness

how could I forget

this tranquility?

this moment of inspiration.

Boxed In …

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.
