Kookaburra, kookaburra
What do you say to me
In the morning, dark and cold
You cackle your song at me
Out of slumber, out of sleep
You raise your voice at me
Laughing, mocking while I wake
Wrenching me from my dreams

Sunday Prayer
Draw me closer
Closer to Thee
Keep me nearer
Nearer to Thee
You are my Father
I am your child
On my knees, Lord
My heart prays to Thee
Friendship
One world
One moon
One sun
Connecting us
You say color
I write colour
You are older
I am younger
You are there
I am here
You are father
I am mother
So different
In so many ways
But yet
The same
In so many more
Blue Eyes
Blue lights hanging low
Blue lights in a row
Blue lights
What do you show?
When you shine your
Bright lights on blue
Shining eyes of mine
Shadow
I watch my shadow
Shadow
As I walk along
Shadow falling
Falling
Alongside me
I watch my legs
Growing longer
Shorter
Watch my body
Growing taller
Smaller
I feel my spirit
Spirit
Floating higher
Flying
As I watch my shadow
Shadow
Attached to me
The truth behind my lion selfie
Excellent article on canned hunting. A tourist was mauled today at a lion park near my previous home in Johannesburg.
As I apprehensively shuffled into the caged box, my gut clenched and my heart stopped…I immediately knew that I was in a bad place, and I desperately wanted to run straight back out and find comfort in my friends hiding out in the car.
But something stronger told me to carry on, something told me that by enduring the next hour in this awful place I could find hope to make a positive change to the hell that I currently found myself encased in.
After an hour of enduring the heartbreaking pain of filming undercover, I spent the next hour crying and shaking at what I had seen. I was both so angry and upset that I couldn’t decide between having an emotional breakdown and marching straight back into the building to punch the guy in the face. And that’s when I decided that I could try my absolute hardest…

Walking Home
Taken with my iPhone 5
A loyal moon
Shines upon you
Wherever you may be
The same light
Guiding me home
Connected are we

Fantasies
It felt like forever
I craved you
Wanted you so badly
Lusted after you
Fantasies of the flesh
Never fulfilled
Time has passed
We may never meet again
But when I think of you
Your eyes and your hands
Your voice whispering to me
I wish you only
Peace
My Love
You are my friend
You are my lover
You are my life
You are my love
My days are yours
My nights are too
For each breath I take
My heart belongs to you
