Poems


      Plover

      In this light’s half turn
      of day against dusk
      the escarpment’s
      looming fortress wall
      above the floor
      of valley nest retreats
      the earth tilts away
      the plover settles
      her faith’s breast shining
      light against the dark

      Rainforest

      This harmony here
      unbalances us gently
      enough to rethink our
      way of leaning in
      to the earth’s ancient axis
      our way of seeing
      into the light of
      all we’ve ever seen before.
      This harmony here
      realigns us to
      the centre point of life through
      ever so subtle
      shifts in the mind’s eye.
      This harmony here leaves us
      knowing life’s fulcrum
