Love languages

Even if a lion had words
We would not have a clue
What he'd say
Lives separated
By fate

A multitude of meaning
To relay
If only love
Made a way

Hopping islands
Walking wilderness
Feeding favourites
Meeting tribe
Soaking memories
Sitting silence
Staring sunrise

Words are limiting
Pain fades with time
Feelings too real
To describe
Love language
Of mine

The impossible girl

Seven score and fifteen
Since the day
Dared to reclaim
Blindfold fell away

The world is a scarier place
Yet wide, vast as the sky
When pulling opinions
Down from on high

Meeting all the faces
Damp lit street and dark
Being one with them
Hitting the mark

All the things refrain
Are real for us
All of life
Abounds in us

Are we alone
Divided by love
Of mythical tree
A new year's eve

Glorious garden grows
Its beauty renewed
Breathtaking view
for Lili

Overcoming

Air thickens 
Time fades
Breath holds
Sounds evaporate
Sight blinds
Mind wanders
Tongue loosens
Sense undone
Heart won
Compass spun
Cheeks tighten
Shoulders sigh
Smile resides
Inviting
Being lightening
Just arriving
Passing through
With you
Richmond, Tasmania

Lean on me

One will come and go
Before the other
But for now
Stronger together

Sidling by admiring
Strength of the first
Supporting the next
Lives intertwined

Feeding housekeeping
Inhabitants
Generations of young
Even once gone

Secrets they keep
Forecast from above
Scenic views
Growth progress

If only trees could speak
The wisdom we would hold
From standing still
Those still standing
Trees of UTAS, Sandy Bay, lutruwita/ Tasmania,

Tender shoots

Love small waving hands
Pointing up to the sun
Lime coloured ones
Delicate fronds

Every year heralding
New growth has begun
Resisting prunings
Wilting of winter

Hope for another year
Even when caretaker
Seemingly ignores
Their every need

Giving, as if
Love is enough
Mountain Pepper, Richmond Tasmania
