licking her blue lips
contented gorgeous feline
her kittens safe by

thunder rumbling
inviting the brand new year
with a cleansing sound

a nightmare of terror
preferable to the dreams
suffocating sobs

thunder crashing skys
smothering the view all wet
grey & menacing

blue triangle cat
so happy to be thought of
sends hugs & kisses

silly season done
can we remember the Babe
who started all this

frog in a blender
smiling round & round dizzy
into the green dream

family jigsaws
how to fit it together
so many pieces...

confusion or fear
my heart strings reaching to you
let love rule supreme

really hard crying
vibrating solar plexus
yawning confusion

music of ancients
inspiring soul lifting love
past & present harmonise

with cup overflowed
contemplating emptiness
blessings found in both

holy gifts for kings
humbled & moved to receive
gold frankincense myrrh

on christmas eve night
many innocents are lost
Jesus holds their hands

writing her haiku
concentration on the eggs
life holding carton

fingernails intact
boarding the train with her dad
suitcase out of sight

mountain encase me
past convict peoples sheltered
bus climbing steady

walking with tall men
transporting me to their world
protective manhood

working from the edge
centre feels so far away
handerwassers art

paint to the canvas
fears swell up constricting me
my brush courageous

the chocolate fudge thief
affirming my fudge prowess
by taking the tray

breaking in last night
taking the fudge and the tray
that discerning thief

eggs in the carton
our brood clusters around us
the home is complete

teeming on the roof
summer rains are falling hard
will it stop or not

the season began
extended fam'ly sharing
in Christ we are one

many flying things
come to me on summers breeze
pondering the moon

carols in the park
penetrating the night air
moving upward light

ever seen the rain
chords and notes of moisture wild
wet afternoon chill

songs of years gone by
heart remembers the new steps
with down on mainstreet

invisible joys
her baby steps off the plane
wavelengths of longing

stormy brooding sky
visually displaying grief
of hidden sorrow

brooding sky of grey
a waiting the first raindrop
igniting my hope

here they come - nearly
anticipation rising
will the plane be late

airconditioner hums
cool arms wrapping say "stay here"
false serenity

nursing home visit
the shapes of salty chrystal
bursting from my eyes

moment of quiet
a child rolls over in bed
dawns greeting rays smile

you got me thinkin'
a stray dog in Bethlehem
wiser than most men

vincent van goghs ear
listened to my frustrations
revealin the fix

aunty ill not be
my sisters lamentations
of my barren self

of my barren self
no emptiness is known
single wholeness stands

the ants have moved in
in search of christmas dinner
i turn a blind eye

a purposeful lick
dark anticipating light
the trav'ler arrives

sense of completion
conversations all day long
with my loving Godde

work christmas party
eyes pinned to leaders with hopes
feet softly tapping

wild approaching storm
bending trees waving
hello to the rain

oh grey bottomed babe
let go roll it shake & flash
send rain down on me

deep aching in eyes
frightful possibilities
housing hope in fear

painter refresher
soft subtle green nurturing
the strong young sapling

new curtains for hope
some woven led lights for love
weaved baskets for junk

softly softly green
celery garden its name
not lime just warmer

painting walls alive
lift spirits with earth colour
surprise for our Nic

crumpled paper waste
rampant consumerism
Christ trampled on floor

fine hairs in sunlight
around the unopened bud
of heaven i dream

children on stage mine
heart swells as smile stretches wide
can you believe it

summer brings eczema
burning itching red bump dots
like burnt bitumen

end of year chaos
stress rising cages rattled
can we just sleep now

shopping day mystery
rides under the drivers seat
potatoe festers

the summers first winds
leave snowy mountains behind
trees mexican wave
