Reaching for the sky

Zig Zag Trail in the Cataract Gorge in Launceston, Tasmania
Zig Zag Trail, Cataract Gorge, Tasmania

Uplifting wind blows,
each step down is a step up—
walk the wilderness.

Uncanny parallels

a bud in a public garden bed, Launceston, Tasmania

Vulnerable bud—
exposed in a garden bed—
a heart locked away.

Sky-bearing light house,

guiding wayward souls homeward;

motherly almost.

Healer

Beyond basic blues,
sustained shades of sheer soundness,
lapping by my feet.

Timely visitor

a photo that shook before it was properly captured, resulting in streaks of light against a dark sky

A picture shaken,
neon streaks across the sky—
ageing hands concede.
