at the edge of dreams
strange coincidences drift
boundaries flicker

dark passages open

so take my hand

chill, the wind
caress of cold rain
kiss of teardrops

loud, the demons
feasting on fears
that life is fleeting

wet, the ink
still on my page
the story—continues

echoes of chatter
cloud cluttered days
like flocks of geese

hours stand still;
time, a waterfall
with stories to tell

a gentle solace
in familiar rituals
a world to build

June 2013 - a view of Rangitoto on the horizon, taken from somewhere near Bucklands Beach. The sunlight reaches its narrow multi-fingered grasp into our world, scattering and smattering across the water. A cluster of boats are anchored, just soaking in the rays. There are scattered clouds on the horizon providing a soft, cosy duvet of sorts.
