Moving Towards The Light
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Be the Change.”
I would like my blog to make a change
To encourage, touch or resonate
In this dark world where all is lost
Where somewhere there may be hope in need
For I have learnt and am learning still
The power of words and how much they have
Words create worlds, and I hope to touch
To somehow build and not destroy
For I have been so low, not knowing what to do
How to escape this agony?
That walks around with me each day
Steals the smile from my heart and face
Dark times so dark no light is seen
In midst of nights, and in sunlight
I wrote The Light, and formed a blog
To help me move towards the light
“When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light”
Shells

Fibonacci in
Shells, presenting spirals in
Fossilized preserves
(II)
Sea shells with patterns
Adorned, offering fossils for
Future years to come
Holiday Find
In a tiny village store
Tucked away in a room at the back
Shelves and shelves of poetry
Sonnets of Shakespeare
William Blake and John Keats
Rupert Brooke and Thoughts of Nanushka
Shelves overlooked by passers by
Stirs my heart and wakes my soul
I want to read myself some poetry
Politician
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “New Skin.”
If I could choose
To be anyone, anywhere
I would choose
To be a politician
With charisma, charm and grace
Diplomacy, tact and fortitude
So I could round up the leaders
To lead and direct
The global change required
To heal the planet we live on
So there will still be
A world we can rejoice in
*the more I read
the more I see
the more my heart bleeds
for this planet we live on
soon there will be no return*
Happy Tears
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Happy Happy Joy Joy.”
I cry often am not scared
Of the emotional ride
Travelled on every day
Not often are there happy tears
But when hearing sweet angel
Sing my own words back to me
A river of joy, river of love
Flowed uninvited, unrestrained
I embrace those joyful tears
Accept any flows of pain
For tears of life remind again
Of life and that we live
Past, Present, Future
Just as h20 changes form
From water, ice, steam and snow
My life has changed its form
From daughter, wife to mother
From student, employee to writer
My future is ever changing
Ever waiting for those words
Inside my head, inside my mind
To be released, and for those
Colors and endless tales
To no longer silent remain
But to be lovingly
Breathed into life

Shower us with blessings
Here’s to you
Here’s to me
Here’s to life
Here’s to prosperity
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for days of long ago
Australia!
Birds and fishes
Horse and bridges
Ice cream cones
And kangaroos
World’s best pies
And fields of green
Sweltering heat
And seas to cool
Welcome to Australia!
