mimic thoughts
through my fingers
on paper
received by my soul
driven by how
you read my words
once dormant
then direction
*
reflection of you
and my words
suddenly
get wings
to fly

scattered words
lost in lacuna
black
white
someone’s bleeding
between silent walls
crimson in the night
if I had wings
I’d soar with gust
to the empty sky
and be on an island
in the desert
of my soul
tearing holes
in tomorrow
***
the mask in time
will turn to
dust

fervent longing
exudes my soul
like jaded birds
enervated
on wings of thought
my body devour
with riotous passion
reflected
in “blueprint”
inside
the tired rooms
of my heart
as I brush away
the musty haze
filling lacuna
and a new verse
take shape
in duet
with
my ode

no mask
no cover
no voice
no sound
solo
in my verse
as light fades
***
for pain
has no shelter
nor has love
***
silence

Utopian dreams
buoyant in the mist
harbinger somewhere

convoluted maze
tears mixed with mud and blood
dwindled in the dust

Just a quick update of what’s been happening after the horrendous floods from last week. Many homes are still without power and the truth of the damage is coming to light more and more as the water levels recede. However, the spirit of the Australian people is just unbelievable, this past weekend people came from all over Australia and New Zealand to help with the cleanup… an army of big-hearted volunteers shouldering brooms, mops and shovels began digging and sweeping Brisbane and surroundings out of the mud. In a remarkable display of community love and spirit, so many signed on for duty, ready to just bend their backs to help fellow residents (mates) reclaim their homes and waterlogged possessions from the sludge left behind by the worst floods ever. This brought tears to my eyes … something I will never forget!!!
There are many people who did wonderful heroic and courageous things during and after the floods, but there are many who did things that meant a lot more and might not be recognised. To them we all say thank you!!
This wildlife warrior risked his life to rescue this injured little joey…(I am happy to say this one made it…many did not)
We all are humbled by the love, spirit and courage Queenslanders have for each other in these difficult times…and proud to be one of them!!!!
*Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons.* ~Ralph Waldo Emerson (http://www.quotegarden.com/)
MY COUNTRY
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror –
The wide brown land for me!
Core of my heart, my country!
Land of the Rainbow Gold,
For flood and fire and famine,
She pays us back threefold –
Over the thirsty paddocks,
Watch, after many days,
The filmy veil of greenness
That thickens as we gaze.
