ring of fire on the water

cloak of tears

i wear a cloak
of longing
for comfort
and
worthiness
why don't i see
my value
there must be some
i have
three beautiful children
i have a career
that others perceive
as worthy
i feel less than
everything
sad
is this
locked in
my own sense of uselessness
tied to pain
and self reproval

brother

brother
of mine
be enveloped in white healing light

be strong and peaceful
your heart
strong and beatful

triple bypass

grow a freeway of the heart

Oi

it's been a very sad
tragic weekend
jed's best mate
harro
passed

unbelievably sad
too young

doctors careless
seems like
malpractice

terrible loss to jed
and to us

knowing that he has
been a true friend
who stood with him
against all of the negativity
he was a true
and loyal
comrade
i weep for his loss
i weep for my son's loss
i weep for the young life not lived
dreams dreamt but never realised

this is an incredible grief burden
too much to bear
it seems
too much to bear

kmart reflection

i looked in the mirror
just accidentally
saw myself as the older woman
that i am
kmart mirror
redefined my world
i saw myself in the eyes
of others
i understood
at last the woman has grown
into her skin
at peace

Want to tell you a story
Not new
Same old stuff
Happy
Sad
Forgiven
Forgotten
Tears
Kisses
Lost and lonely
Desperate
And as a consequence
Open
A
Breeze blows in new blood
Old blood
Feels new
Old heart
Feels young
Old feelings
Burn
A hole in my world
