Two ways to escape
Holding on edge
Hand up and out
Filling the void
Magnificent effort
Return the earth
From whence it came
Settling life returns
Populated first
Hold down roots
Local familiars
Fly in freely
Planting family
Speak to each
Strengthen weak
Colony to greet
Kin to kin
No mess we're in
Growth abounds
No space is found
Bloom alike
Is golden
With you
Where do they all come from?
Light descends
In shapes and forms
Sometimes yours
Through a face
So beautiful
Taking pictures
In my mind
Flash of smile
Words are kind
Hide inside
Holding hands
By my side
Never touching
Flecks of light
Move on too soon
Chasing rainbows
Absorbing in
Sights and sounds
Making meaning
Riddle me love
Unravelling
Everyday
Rearranging
Colours fade
Kaleidescope
A sweet array
Each colour taste
Hues and blues
A mind parade
Alternate universe
Tea sipped lips
Discern a word
In the stillness
Of morning
Life always dawning
With us
The love of a bird
Is perched in the soul
High above reason
Boots on the soil
When asked whether dally
And stay for a few
Moments magnified
Sitting with you
To capture an image
Of her in near view
Impossible task
While eyes are glued
Instead taking pictures
In heart and in mind
Chance encounters
Of the feathered kind
Daughter sister
Nineteen
Nation Pacific
Eight and some
Wife and lover
Twenty One
Growing womb
Forty months
Feeding breasts
Four years over eight
Love of learning
Seventeen to the power of two
From where does it come?
Where does it go?
From infinity to infinity and beyond.
Take courage
There is no other way
To be
Who I love
Is part of me
They can't take that
Away from me
Be still
Or make waves
Feed yourself
Share your day
Friends and strangers
Sometimes meet
When finding themselves
Alone in retreat
The time to draw closer
When tending
To our wounds
And our young
A truer form
Of my reflection
Is found
In your smile
How do I stand
Long enough
For you
To turn around
Count the stars of heaven
