Mapleton Forestry, 11/08/2021 Towering gum trees now are gathered around me while I lie within their midst. They seem to me to be like ancient elders, and we commune as such as they peer down into my world, and I up to theirs. “You have misspoken, Young Poet,” they whisper to me now, “For hath […]
In the Ancient Harbour
In the Ancient Harbour Giant waves beat upon the weathered mountains that have in days passed given way to this ancient harbour.

Caterpillar Eggs
Caterpillar Eggs As I wrote my poems at the edge of the garden, a woman made her rounds, and she stopped to talk along the way. I asked her if she walked on this path very often, and she said that she came here daily. She said that she liked how the garden changed with […]
Brother, Oh Brother
Brother, Oh Brother Brother, oh brother, I don’t understand, For life’s not as simpleAs sun, sea and sand. Have ye now assumed,As I write with my quill,That I dabble in questionsMy sweet time to kill? I tell thee, my brother,Ye’ve not heard me well,And if it’s upon meI’ll gladly retell. For I deal with mattersThat live in […]
A Whole New World
A Whole New World When you really look at things, a whole new world presents itself. A world that cannot be seen with a camera. When you really look at things, mysteries become known. When you really look at things, life is revealed. See More With The Poet & The Sage All of my writings, […]
