Waiting for no one
Lost and not found
The wisest counsellor
Equal to pounds
Extravagant expense
Unending relief
Bringing to pass
A robber, a thief
While quietly ticking
It takes us all
But a moment to say
As a sand grain falls
Naught to control
A gift freely given
A constant of change
The fourth dimension
Their wife for a hat
A child for a cat
A lover for a bat
A friend for a mat
Sensibilities
Surrounded by
Seratonin
Someday fades
Why not instead
See streets of gold
Homes of gingerbread
Chocolate rivers
Smooth sailing comes
When you find your crew
Will you take me
As I am?
*The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, a book by Oliver Sacks.
Falling stars amaze Tumbling Out of control Time travel Hurtling through the sky Elements ablaze Random chance To ignite Secluded forest Soft landing Who knows From whence it came?
Bar chords
Black vans
On the wall
Mind haze
Heady brew
Dreaming rewind
Red room
None of her kind
Four pictures
Rotated daily
Every living thing
Holds her power
Over me
No matter how well
They're put together
Words have a way
Of leading astray
Down rabbit holes
Up Toad's willows
In dark with mole
Long on the nose
On the run again
Like Banksia men
Up and out
Flying elephant spout
High as a kite
With a bosom friend
Try as we might
Gone round river bend
We offer our cheers
To a friend big ears
Lift off in the sky
On a lemonade high
Still to return
From doldrums we yearn
Come dally with me
Round the giving tree
Brave is the one
With words so few
But ears and arms
To live stories
With you
By Emma Haynes and Lilian James
Know them
By their fruit
They say
Pulling faces
Wind will change
When it does
We wonder why
Young lives lost
Hide deny
If every one
Unrealised love
Why then some
Love undone?
Jousting words
Soft as soap
Twist of knife
Antidote?
To love unmeasured
Uncontained
Boundless free
Love makes a way
A waratah
My favourite
By far
Opening fingers
Delicious red
Planted firmly
Sandy bed
No need
For nurture
Spoil or fuss
No matter how
She tempted us
Hardy yet
Delicate
Glorious
Display
To rival
A rose
In her own
Stunning way
Count the stars of heaven
