To See Creatively

While walking by, I came to see,

a high archway to the trees.

The sky so wonderful calls me

to stop, look over, and then just sigh

in odd amazement at the view,

as truly, I tell you,

here, at the ground-level,

there was a field of rusted cars,

so much old wreckage in the long dry grass.

 

'See Creatively' -

Look up and into 

the painted sky of beauty.

A Place To Be

 

 

 

From where I sit I see

a fruiting lemon tree 

surrounded by blue salvia

and abundant easter-daisy blooms just outside my room.

 

And here within I bring

the sitting stillness where I am deeply listening.

As you look into my quiet space,

you see this room really has no room at all,

and the sacredness of place

comes from what I feel in my spaciousness within.

 

So I bring simplicity inside here, 

as I close the door to distractions

and ask myself Who Am I 

I Am a place to be

open to the calm within me.

 

 

 

 

The Peace Of Simplicity

It is mid-summer-time

with the heat intense,

so what I give to you this day

is something simple just to say,

'Keep Going'

as the first autumn Crocus

is showing above the ground

and the peace of Alyssum

is all that is all-around.

 

These simple blessings come

to share with everyone.

 

 

Blue Feather Forever

On this bright sunny day

when

 the rainbow Rosellas flew away

a brilliant blue feather

was left as a treasure

to share. 

 

Adelaide Rosellas

 crowd

 into the small cypress tree

and gobble flower-berries

with the greatest glee.

 

The Flowers Know

 

 

 

The flowers know the birds will come.

 

 

The feather-light hummingbird,

eastern spine-bill,

feeds on the nectar of 

colourful blue and red Salvias

 

Red And Blue

 

Now

there are brilliant blue lilies

in my summer garden,

and humming-birds feeding 

in the crimson Chinese lantern.

I have heard it said,

Birds love blue and red.

Hello Koala In Our Irish Strawberry Tree

This morning 

he came to visit Rabbit,

and then decided to stay all day,

just above the ground.

So calm and friendly as you see,

he strolled across the patio garden

and up the Strawberry Tree.
