Come with me

Let me cover you in stars
Trade our nights in bars
For an endless universe

Let me cover you in waves
Trade our endless days
For unfathomable depths

Let me cover you in rays
Trade the blue screen haze
For an ultra violet bath

Let me cover you in shade
Trade fluorescent buzz
For the forest elders' maze

Come with me
Into the wilderness
Just to breathe
To see what else
Lies beneath
Dunalley, Tasmania

Disarm

Poised for full flight 
Staring at the ceiling
Longing out the window
At all the feathered friends
Feeding, freeing releasing

Sprawled in open field
Tracking left to right
Closing in aperture
At the microcosm
Teaming, hauling, receiving

Wandering round stone walls
Crumbling under time
Eroding memories
Cast iron releasing
Leaving, living, believing

In freedom
Richmond, Tasmania

Blue

Each day
With or without you
Sunshine peeping
Through

Each afternoon
Sky as a kite
Music coursing
Through

Each night
Try as we might
Nothing left
To do

Each morning
Another day facing
Many shades of
Blue
