Moving pictures

Still the almond blossom
Showers the path
Trodden so confidently
Staring quietly

Wondering where
The wind will carry
Notes riding rays
Brilliant past noon

Sun and moon
Revolve around
Reminding how many
Gazed longingly

Yet still only they
Capture our looks
While we all
Drift far off

To realms unseen
Coal River, Tasmania

Dear Sadie

Dear Sadie
Shy eyes give away
Never a day passes
Longing for a way
Cling to shiny dreams
End of the rope
Smiling through oversized glasses
Spouting pleasantries prettily
Meanwhile mind wanders
Where will I be when
My hair turns silver
Like hers?
Will I be great?
No matter
As long as the day
Shines on me
Be free

Wander woman

Feeling strong again
Climbing mountains
Blazing saddles
Heading back again

Trappers snowbound
Head for the hills
Luscious pelts
Grey smoke feel

Tidbits in brine
Pipe sipped
Port by the fire
Boots steaming dry

Only come in
To stay the night
Weather's feral
All right

These'll fetch
A pretty penny
In a patchwork town
Friday night

Seaside Daisy's
Walking in
Round 'bout half past ten
Never fear, she'll be here

To fill the boots
Of men
Trappers Hut, Walls of Jerusalem National Park, Tasmania
