Being

Being with you
Breathes new life
A chance moment
To be renewed

Ever reaching
Oft receiving
Sinews of love
Social glue

Wandering far
Never lost
Contented rest
Glancing upon

Faces and homes
Friends and alone
Loyal companions
Care for our tone

Warm blooded bodies
Flit, flee and curl
Above and beneath
The whirl of day

Stillness at night
Only outside
The pace of the mind
Never sleeps

In my kind
Twisted gums by the seaside

Filling the void

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

The Art of Refraction

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

Eyes to see

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
