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
Monday's child
Fair of face
Tuesday's child
Full of grace
Wednesday's child
Full of woe
Thursday's child
Far to go
Friday's child
Loving and giving
Saturday's child
Works hard for a living
The child that is born
On the Sabbath day
Is Bonnie and Blyth
And Good and Gay
- Traditional
Her name
In Greek
Is wholly
Exclaimed
Life changing fame
Takes centre frame
Anointed dew
Crown silver new
Wild and imagined
Holding wisdom
All the women
In the world
Love her
Just like you
Χριστε
Fantastic Fungi tell us
How to alter consciousness
Since early woman the royal We
Search to consume love
A kaleidescope of colour
Natural born tripper
Forest bathing blind
Synesthesia of the mind
The kind that addicts
Music caffeine you
Soothe, save, unravel
Renew
Freshly fallen snow
On beaten tracks
Of neural pathways
A hefty daily dose
Sweeter than a sugar pill
Higher than treeline
Cooler than alpine spring
Bring the next wave in
With love
World went in reverse
Spun to the curb
Colour drained face
Shrapnel launched to space
Still one came
To rearrange and stay
To draw fine lines
Where erased
Colour all my grey
Light shadows fade
Swing the reel
Make them feel
Maestra double take
Let's take it
From the top
Of the world
Crinkles in my eyes
Titles by bedside
Sweet things admired
Sleep songs by night
Not here
Everywhere
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
Count the stars of heaven
