Chasing Dreams

My eyelids feel the weight of many hours researching and writing, reading and listening, and many more thoughts and duties. Tomorrow will be the same, only worse. The clock ticks over to eleven And curtains fall on another day, Lights still on in their eyes Even though the show Had come to an end. LethargicContinue reading “Chasing Dreams”

Summer Fling, pt. 2

To the ones with which I have spent the summer, I have found so much delight in the conversations we have had and the wanderings we have shared. I remember a couple of years ago, The time I first met you And I think, you have changed – I see who you have become, WhoContinue reading “Summer Fling, pt. 2”

A ball of floof

I’ll admit, I haven’t had too much wordy inspiration today. I woke up a little earlier than anticipated, I ate a quick breakfast and even had time in the morning to do a little baking preparation. Mind you, I had somewhere to be later in the day, so that extra time I had in theContinue reading “A ball of floof”

Send off

Today I was awoken by the sounds of a familiar and unfamiliar voice. One was a man sent to spray pesticide in the house to keep those nettlesome cockroaches at bay, and the other was someone I knew all too well.

In my experience, it isn’t uncommon for someone to ask my opinion on a matter, and that’s what people have been doing. It often comes after some sort of discussionContinue reading “You’re a leader”

Placeholder

In the place of a loved memory lives another photo. She picked up the small photo frame that once sat on her windowsill; it belonged in front of a flowerbed of lavender, rosemary and honey bees. She gazed at the photo lovingly, but expressed a hint of melancholy in her smile. It was merely anContinue reading “Placeholder”

Lost in the Crowd

For a while, I think I’ve been a little lost. Maybe I’ve been a little too immersed in the wonders and tragedies of the world. Getting lost in nature becomes harder as urbanisation happens in the outer parts of Sydney – not that I mind, because I really enjoyed walking around the city at nightContinue reading “Lost in the Crowd”
