A Life long Journey in Poetry & Art​​
In League with Mother Nature
In league with Mother Nature-
- she creates in breath-taking shades
and I… I try to chronicle
the beauty of each day…

Evergreen waterways
sweep through meandering vistas
not yet tainted by the progress or man
nor stained or maimed
or reconstructed
to suit an invented view-
- evergreen waterways
visited by few…
Mountain peaks
speak in wisdom whispers
unassailable heights
stand guardian…
where trees outnumber buildings
and wood triumphs over steel
Mother Nature hides
her purest beauty where few venture to be…
Rocky ridges form protective embankments
ravines run with wild brumby herds
the ring of hoof beat
on fieldstone
cracks on the echoing wind…
… eagle-flight… fireflies alight
diamond-strung, the ebony night –
- In league with Mother Nature-
while she creates in breath-taking shades
I try
… I try to chronicle
the beauty of each day…

Every Time It Rains…
patchwork patches of sunshine and shade
lead to where I walk today
epic journeys of a hearts dream
searching quests
into vista’s pristine …
thorns that bled weary feet
on the path to enlightenment’s grace…
bubbling excitement erupt some days
others … mundanely insane
but my world is coloured by rainbows
every time it rains…
tears that nourished both soul and soil
years beleaguered by poverties toil…
love that came on
wings of seasons changing
a wild garden in the growing…
friendship blossomed
in time shared
with wisdom and profound knowing
connections in an unbreakable chain
colour my world in rainbows
every time it rains…

Days Departure
The moment was soft and intimate
just me and Mother Nature
and a swiftly setting
tropic sun..
tangerine-tip ripples
lapped the shore
as tree-shapes took on silhouette
rustling fronds
a whisper on twilight breeze…
a sense of profound connection
beat tenderly in my heart
as Mother Nature and I
watched the day depart..
and as that last stray rays of light
faded in a tropic sky
I breathed in deep and cleansing breathes
exhaling with a sigh…
I whispered a soft and fond goodnight
and turned back to the fire side
dancing warmly in the dark
flames leaping to the obscure sky.
