He Has Only Just Begun
On swift wings, blessed by the light,
who pours out the melody,
scriptures come to life – in the song,
joyful noises, crafted by hope,

Under the Apple TreeUnder the tree, I sit once again
A long decade it has been
Before, a girl, lost and alone
A woman into which she has grown
Memories flood me as I look back
Knowledge abundant, previously lack
So many changes,...

we never throw anything awayA piece of brown crap metal
What could I do with it?
I did not know, but I knew I would have to try
Since it was free, I lugged it home
Seashells with holes
Discarded by a button factory
Thousands...

and with them they bring an army of hungry shellfish;

Those Days
I miss those days of hopscotch
Doing handstands against the wall
Skipping, riding bikes, running free
Playing with friends…. having a ball!
Those days of youthful exuberance and excitement
Of joyful simplicity personified
Not knowing back then its true beauty...

I did half a cart wheelI did half a cart wheel
once pooped a quarter

OK, i also tried the dog food
the crunchy stuff wasn't bad
I'll still eat the last cookie
and love taking the large strawberry
that sits atop the display

A town full of sound
With Roller Coasters
And Merry Go Round

To sound an alarm

It's difficult to be honest although ephemeral

I can't keep my focus when you're lingering
The back of my mind has been caged off...

record brokenNot ready to be thrown away,
like those memories made
it's not broken,
long as it's loved.
Can't you feel them?

feels I've known you since the day you were born,
though the...

The Seasons of Our LoveOn summer nights
Nostalgia's muse revives
Scent of jasmine
Fig tree fragrance fuses
Memories meander
Minty ice cream flavours
Add sweetness to hungry kisses
Star gazing to cricket symphony
Roof top whispers of love's infinity
Days drenched with salty waves
Sun flared skin...
