Take me with you

Take me with you

A word can change a life

Hardest hearts may melt
At the slightest touch
Pour oneself out leaving
Nothing but a shell

Somewhere only we know
Taroona Tasmania

The salty sea understands
Vast unbounded loneliness
Despite surrounded by
Bountiful land
Fringed with company
Immersed in memories
Exuding calmest thought
Her placid shores
Lap at my feet
Spurring me on

How do I tell her?
Devotion rises
Tide to chin
Sea grass waves
Goodbye
How to live a dream?
Kitchen window spying
Blue gum branches
Conjures fantasies
Surprises
How to love oneself?
Believe there is more
Waiting somewhere
Far away unknown
Renowned
How to make sense?
Words splayed daily
Confusion sets in
Love on the spectrum
Beginnings

Twenty degrees latitude
Below Great Southern Island
Magnitude makes her home
In darkest sky
Nightfall, far from
Fluorescent light haze
She struts across horizon
Skirts lifted she parades
As thousands of admirers
Fill their eyes lenses
With her spectacle
Lady Aurora Nuyina
Ageless beauty adoring
Ancient wise ones
To common modern
Homo sapiens
Green light oxygen collides
Pink and red nitrogen spikes
Blue and purple helium high
Dare not reduce to molecules
Spark ignites romance
Mainlanders hop aboard planes
At the mere chance of
Watching her dance
Aura irresistible
Star signs equinox
Aries rising
Cabaret curtain milky way
Stage mirrors Southern Ocean
Audience adoring humans
Seals and penguins
A light of hope in darkness
Solar flares Earth's life giver
True beauty filled pleasure
Though hibernation blinds
Blue screen haze
Come out one and all
To greet our lady
Of Southern Skies
To fill minds with wonder

Thankful for lights in trees
Just as limbs lose their leaves
Just as workers escape
Through the darkness
Wondering, if not for trees
Would we ever be enlightened?
