The single greatest Motivator Found ever far or wide A flood of love From memories That rise with Morning tide It energises Opens lids Reluctant limbs Lift high Take hand to any Task unsatisfied Since evenin' by The relics stand High and proud Resemble who they are A glimpse of them A tonic for the Churning thought to calm When day is done The quiet mind Sends signal To the place Where somewhere still They go about Their neverending race A certainty flies over me A picture of good health But if not I can rest Assured my love might Strengthen well
You were all things to me Breathing air seeing none You meant the whole world Revolving the sun Reliving lost dreams That fled once awake Exploring new ground No claiming a stake Imagining lives We never would live Biding our time For someone to give
Then dreamt of yesterday All the days leading Up to it Slowly Surely Like a breeze Gaining strength To power a fleet Of silent sailboats Against the tide So unlike a race Us two ran last Holding hands Did not capsize Basked in the sun Caught fish Explored vast islands Spent time All we had left of it Till the finish line
Your every word Tossed about gently Like lost garments In the night On the deck Of a ship at storm Trip hazard But loved once worn In the daylight As the anchor Finds safe habour Among living creatures Seeking safety Searching sea bottom For friends and tidbits Till bottomless glass Tilts no more I set sail again Longing horizon Begs me for more
Elizabeth Pier, nipaluna / Hobart, lutruwita / Tasmania
A one-way street Obey all signs No turn to meet Long road travelled Further away A mind map daunts Crowd pervades Lest crossroad take You winding back To where the flow Returns both ways
Soon as second summer fades Gold leaf heralds the change Climb atop pinnacle feast Yearning eye spectacle Brilliant openings abound Underfoot and far As the eye wanders Missed by only a week Left behind late bloomers Scarce, rare and welcome Shot of red against Hard rock, lucid pools Dreaming what came before Never gazed upon Rigid timing of fair nature Meant never saw one other In full bloom and open Ready to receive a lover
