I wandered around the garden
found his footsteps where he had stopped,
and looked back thoughtfully
wondering
would I like a flowering shrub, or a shady tree
when the last autumn leaf floated free
like me, at his feet
and I know
he would have smiled at the memory
as do I
in the garden, he is creating for me.

Somewhere in the Pilbara mining region, Western Australia
Iron earth
steel tipped boots
the softest footfalls
in my heart
a dawn bird
In response to RDP – Saturday – Outdoors
Like us, by chance
sand settles
into a slow dance
a dawn bird
In response to RDP – Friday – Settle
The little boy stood still and searched the sea
and in his eyes
the sea beckoned me
a dawn bird
Midwest, Western Australia
Like clouds,
thoughts of you swirl
destination unknown
a dawn bird
In response to RDP – Thursday – The Blues
Untethered, like a feather I floated free
until you found me
as your hands healed, to make whole
I surrendered again and again
and in a fleeting moment
I questioned, is this me?
when you answered, in your smile
it is.
In response to RDP – Monday – Surrender
The Fascine, Carnarvon, Western Australia
Sail in my heart
crest the waves
you’ll find that safe harbour
where you belong.

In response to RDP – Saturday – Nomad
