"She walks along the edge
Of where the ocean
Meets the land
Just like she's walking on a wire in the circus.."
~ lyrics to Round Here by Counting Crows.

Flow
Let grief flow
To try to stop
It’s winding course
Like the force
Of a river
Aching for sea
Opens the way
For opportunity
To know oneself
Obstacles seem
Insurmountable
Compassion may bear
Steady your feet
Plant them deep
Flow with grief
Colour me blind
All this time
Tracing the edges
Watching the lines
Ink fills empty spaces
Candy bar colours
From head to toe
Siamese dream
Waking slow
Starlit darkness
Winter solstice smile
Blue morning
Colour me blind
Reclaim
Memories permeate
Through reclaimed
Rock walls
Of the present
Illuminating
Iridescent morn
The wait of it
If I pour my heart
Out to you
Is it too heavy?
You see, I need
A good strong woman
A big heart
For if she wishes
To pour out too
I have grown strong
From holding on
For so long.
Freedom within
'There is freedom within
There is freedom without...
Don't dream it's over
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
Don't let them win...'
Lyrics to Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House'
Some Other Soul
Save me not
From this world
Shop of horrors
One who will
Save me yet
From myself
Perpetual
Broken heartedness
Self imposed abandon
Whose presence
Has gravity
Of the kind kind
Holds up a mirror
Says, I like your flaws
They match your expectations
Then we hold hands
Into the wide blue
Sky, sea and yonder
Once it turns
Red, orange, pink
Sit in wonder
Till sleep befalls
Stars unnumbered
Past light future wish
Some other soul
Like mine
Love without…
'I'm learning to love you from afar
By that I mean across the bar
You are so beautiful..
You are my future but not my present'
Lyrics to Love without Possession by Scout Willis.
Things people say
Sydney Mardi Gras
Any day now
Hemmed in by chosen
Memories
Discarded ones collect
Pools of regret
Out in the driveway
Older I get
Smaller the space
I inhabit
More selective
What constitutes
A treasure in my mind
Music, art and books
Unread stories
To discover soon as
I set foot
Out of the hallways
Of yesterday
Any day now
Count the stars of heaven
