To pray is to seek, where the answers show up from, I do not know, but they often do - you simply need to be quiet and still enough to hear or see them. #prayer #justwords #tryit

Thin white clouds float on a dull blue sky, as darker clouds cluster below, with the new day's sun at the bottom of the photo.

The wish, lighter than
an angel’s wing
floated unimpeded
upon dawn’s breath
longing
hope
desire
entwined with a
fragile dream
seeking to become
realised

Sunrise over Nobbys Beach. The sun, which is a peach/gold colour, peeks through a crack in the clouds on the horizon, illuminating the calm ocean. On the headland to the left is a Lighthouse. Waves gently roll onto the beach. To the right of the photo, two Gulls fly over the waves. Patches of blue sky are shown at the top of the photo.

Birthday Count

As this moment
dissolves into the next
melds into the following
whispers into yet the next,
time tallies another year
numbers the moments
the breaths
the heartbeats
of the chronicle
that is my life

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Time #Birthdays

A puffy little bird, sitting on a branch, with a light brown belly, and darker brown on the back. A long slender tail, little blue spots are under the beak and on the breast. This is a Wren, but I'm unsure of which particular species. Could be a Superb Blue Wren.

She came ever so quietly
not even the morning
noticed her arrival
her shiny gaze met mine
she sought nothing in particular
other than to observe
my hushed presence
and for a moment in time
we acknowledged the
wonder of the other

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Wonder #BlueWren

A golden/orange sun peeks out from clouds. Dark grey clouds above, a ruffled ocean below. Sunrise in Newcastle, NSW Australia.

Shyly, tentatively
the sun slides into
another new day
the clouds gather round
seeking to welcome
their old friend
together they carry
the stories of earth
together they display
the wonders of all
things natural
together they inspire awe

Live in awe
be inspired

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Sunrise

I long for simplicity
not that complexity
baffles me
rather simplicity leaves
room for the self
to just be and
know oneself
it has beauty
it speaks honestly
it offers freedom

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Simplicity #Honesty #Freedom

I count not the lost
hours, months, years
since death claimed you
Rather, I imagine the lost
moments, adventures, dreams
that will never be realised

Time lessens not the ache of absence
Rather love cradles the aching ...
gentling grief’s grasp

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Grief #Loss #Love

So gentle was the dawn,
where ocean‘s waters shyly
caressed the cool beach sands,
soft salty breezes
lazily played to and fro,
as the sun kissed
night into day,
which caused
the clouds to blush.

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Dawn #Clouds

You would know joy,
experience the exuberance
of living well?
Consider then the birds,
they seek not opulence,
fame, neither wealth,
only an offering of water
and a welcoming garden.

Live well,
live simply.

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Birds #LiveSimply

The journey of a
single tear is the
longest
loneliness
most ...
painful
profound

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Tear #Sorrow #Grief

Within each golden,
each port-wine strand,
you exhibit elegance
and grace,
the breeze delights
to dance with you in
the early morn
and twilight.
Heed not those who
pass by with ne’er a glance
know I will always admire you
and dance with you
till time is no more.

I'm in love with the night ..............

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Night #Love

Spring surrounds me with
the blooms and fragrance
of Jasmine

‘Did you miss me?’

Her warm breezy whisper
tickles the back of my neck
the tip of my nose

Achoo!

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Spring #Jasmine

I stand within my insignificance
Cognizant of my lack of influence
Saddened by humankind's indifference
Awaiting that moment of consequence

#Wordsmith #JustWords

Today I smiled at a passer-by,
they smiled back with a contented sigh,
and slowly the day glowed a little brighter,
my soul felt somewhat lighter.

(Go on ... smile ... it has health benefits for the planet 😊)

Do you seek to seduce me
with your colour so
true, clear, bright?
Do you desire to cast a spell,
entwining my heart with
longing only for you?
Oh, beauty of the earth,
nature's glamour,
I'm bewitched,
you have me,
I am yours.

(Some spring silliness)

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Spring #Yellow

I offer you a word
one which is
simple
misunderstood
miss interpreted
overused
abused
fragile
yet strangely empowering
strong
enduring

I gently offer you a word
handle with care ...
I offer you
... hope ...

May it wave it’s magic around you
within you

A female Olive-backed Sunbird peering out from her hanging nest. She has a yellow face, olive green head, and a black beak.

What makes a home?

That place where
you can be yourself
That place where
you have made it yours
That place where
you welcome others
That place where
your dreams roam

What makes a home?

Being content where
you are, and with
who you are - that
makes a home

#Wordsmith #JustWords #WhatIsHome

Another spring without you
yet the blooms remind me of
the wonder, the gift
that was/is you
Time, in step with nature
gently encourages
the grieving heart
to continue its beat
Death ... life
companions
through the seasons of living
one cannot be without the other

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Grief #Love

For those who have loved and been loved.

A Fortnight Lily

It's spring!!
Every flower
eager to display
it's beauty
Trees in their
finest new green coats,
some resplendent with
floral jewellery
A forever azure sky,
wispy white clouds
dance and frolic
The sun's rays
a warm embrace
From death, decay, slumber
the new emerges

#Wordsmith #JustWords #Spring

Ever wanted a day to never end? Ever wanted to lasso the sun and hold it still? I have.

#Wordsmith #JustWords #LassoTheSun

The clouds they
form
reform
appear
disappear
they have no desire to
impress
(yet they do).
The clouds they
just are.
I need to learn
from the clouds
form
reform
appear
disappear
just be me
with no need to
impress.

#WriterPoet #JustWords #Clouds #Pondering

When the feet
of the one you love
no longer touches
the earth next to yours,
the glowing dawn reminds you
that somewhere
from the beyond
their love for you
continues to shine

You lent me your words
until my own found voice

To see is not only to look at what is before you, rather it is to appreciate how what is before you came into being, to view it with an enquiring mind, an open mind, to acknowledge its presence and decide how it will affect your life.

#WriterPoet #JustWords #Pondering #ToSee #Dawn

The trunks of the trees
they hold the history
of you and me
of the dreaming times
the song lines
of earth and her
beginning
