the pilbara
once you were part of the Big Bang.
once you were empty, full of echoes and mystery.
an artistic hand painted your ochres so you became land.
now trees grow from your heart, lizards traverse your soul emus leave footprints for others to follow
kangaroos and their joeys hop along borders to pick at fledgling grass while spasmodic rain is called aboriginal tears,
heralded by an artistic brush ghosts of gums expose patches of sap
in the raw imagery between dusk and light.

COCKATOO COUNTRY
in my yellow headress and white plumage
Im known as Priscilla Queen of Cockatoo Country.
I squawk, I scratch, I also hang from electricity wires
embedding the sharp edge of my beak to explore each cutting edge.
Like any Priscilla creating chaos is my lifes inspiration every song and dance coloured in abstract through
the random shredding selection of my flock.

THE GIFT
remaining in the present with a clear mind
and an open heart is the ultimate artistic gift
you can bring to a world needing presence your story, your colour, your clarity wrapped in the ribbon of
your imagination requires neither card nor bow only the sweep of a brush that extends to canvas
corners where few of your ideas have traversed before.

French Bill Dog

mon ami French Bill Dog yellow rain drips from your
brain - is being chained to your inner reflections
mirrored in sad eyes and a hang dog look?
my suggestion for any future happiness is for you
to buy a yellow beret so you can wave au revoir
to this current leakage

street life

palettes of colour fall from the sky

hitting the pavement, pedestrians in the eye even a busker in the middle of a chorus
noticed his skin was fleetingly porous
as cigarette puffers hide signals of smoke
around concrete buildings with the fires they stoke buses and cars blow their pollution
into the air, whats the solution?
to lifes stress as business bound rush
many twitterers rarely uttering a sound mobiles, brunch, cappucino, latte
regaled by conversations of the arty farty
wrapped in fettucine or sour dough bread
footprints and bustle give street life cred.

water meditation
every morning before sunrise a Water Sprite
would sit on a lotus to meditate.
if it rained shed bring the sun into her heart.
if the wind rushed around her shed find stillness.
if a mist blanketed her body shed look beyond the mist
into the illumination of love.
if the sun blazed shed embrace her inner reflection
that originally sat on waters edge.
today her meditation is focused on peace.
with each breath she allows peace to flood her body.
with each outbreath she lets go her past burdens.
after a while her body begins to feel so light
she falls into the Sea of Tranquility and ongoing Lotus Blossoming.
Finally Blessed

RHAPSODY
when I asked you to dance you blinked.
I asked you why? rhapsody is blue. you replied.
all I could offer was my eyes are blue
so are yours. you pointed to the sky.
in a panorama of blue the sun had peaked
while clouds as soft as cotton balls found time
to sit and rest. shall we? you said. yes lets.
I nodded. lets play between Beethoven, Mozart
and Gershwin. for love. you smiled.
only on Cloud 9 where Destiny floats as light as a
feather.... I proposed.

aqua dreaming
just three drops inspires the themeing
where Angels pirouette you can feel her dreaming
her thirst for life unquenchable too
a return from the desert well overdue.
water falls from her eyes, rivers glide,
lakes filled with fish, she takes in her stride,
oceans of passion, whales that breach,
visions of significance within her reach,
often seen laughing on top of a wave
art in her spirit, GE shell save.
