mindful stone - 13 January 2013

on the television news,
bush fires in Australia;
outside –
heavy rain falls

mindful stone - 11 January 2013

passing a billboard
advertising an air show
images of fighter planes —
beauty masking their true nature

clouds part,
blue sky,
a leaf falls ,
on this —
summer morning

people standing
on almost every street corner
looking down at a street map —
a cruise ship has docked

ancient eastern tradition
balancing rocks and stones
modern western shortcut
cement and wire

mindful stone - 5 January 2013

shortening shadows
garden implements
lay idle
popping pine cones
startle a small bird

mindful stone - 4 January 2013

buying a suit,
the young shop assistant
talks with an accent,
either from the playing fields of Eaton,
or over exposure to Downtown Abby

a river of stones - Jan 29 2012

no matter how much care
is taken when mowing the lawn,
there are always two
and only two
dandelions left standing

a river of stones - Jan 26 2012

gale force winds,
at the traffic lights
cars rock
to nature’s beat

a river of stones - Jan 25 2012

the surrounding hills are not there, the morning mist lingers still
sea birds swoop and dive, freely above the becalmed harbour 
my eyes create my world, birds exist but the hills can never be.

a river of stones - Jan 24 2012

clear night sky
and still no moon
a chorus of birds
erupts in the early evening
blissfully unperturbed
by the dragon’s arrival

a river of stones - Jan 22 2012

sun in the puddle
sun in the window
sun in the sky
so many suns yet —
forecast for rain

a river of stones - Jan 21 2012

examining tea leaves,
the only future
that is certain –
is theirs
