About aperture

Living on the island state of Tasmania, Australia. Narrating life through poetry and photography.

Blue

Each day
With or without you
Sunshine peeping
Through

Each afternoon
Sky as a kite
Music coursing
Through

Each night
Try as we might
Nothing left
To do

Each morning
Another day facing
Many shades of
Blue

50th Anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Blue’ Album

Self Portrait

You will remember…

'... that leaping stream
Where sweet aromas rose and trembled,
And sometimes a bird, wearing water and slowness, its winter feathers.'
'... those gifts from the earth:
Indelible scents, gold clay, weeds in the thicket and crazy roots,
Magical thorns like swords.'
'... the bouquet you picked,
Shadows and silent water,
Bouquet like a foam covered stone.'
Humphrey’s Rivulet, Tasmania
'That time was like never and like always.
So we go there, where nothing is waiting;
We find everything waiting there.'

PABLO NERUDA
Sonnet
