***
(( Through path of time ))
****
1000 bright days gone
1000 nights appeared
1000 lips begged a kiss
1000 hearts felt love
1000 dreams came true
1000 wishes died
1000 eyes cried
1000 years passed by
*****
But
*****
Sky's still blue
Clouds dance
Dew kisses flowers
Light tempts butterflies
Quietness covers forests
Waves of sea never sleep
Night birds still sing
Sun never stop shining
Moon fascinates eyes
Stars blink eternally
Still nothing changed
***
Except mind of human
*******

given to me by elders
who feel they must leave something
just a little different
to have lived for something
a fragment of a leaf
on which is written my name
sold by those who felt the same
who knew not how to ask
where sorrow comes from
why you can't speak of it
and therefore live it
true the form taken
of a dozen few ones
worn by variations
of the same lung and shape
I saw a hundred mice in a lake
terrified of stomping feet
that made leaves fall
to fall was their fate
not one of them great
two snakes wound together
thought they were the
sunlight falling on their cracked warm road
laughing at unlit depths
we advise to burn
your name and not trust wind
our hopeless believer
did you see how they
wrote, hoped, dreamed
and didn't leave one thing
to remember
bought one word
a name
and now it's all they know
there must be a lesson here
so they all think

brothers
though I have few of you
I will tell you something
if you are young
you may be drawn
unable and unwilling
to her but
you can live without
ever having known her but
once you find one that
shows you her heart you can
no longer be what you
once were and
it is futile to try
and anyway
you won't want to
and it makes no difference
to her to leave you

With our gifts of lovely sight
The August sun shines brillant light
The soft wind plays lively bright
The pale moon paints a sultry night
A romantic sweet cool delight
With cloudless sky, perfectly right,
For moonbeams' radiance of golden white.

My toes touched the sand
beauty
softness
barefeet
I saw footprints
many
I placed my foot in many
some big some small
some steering there some steering over yond
what footprint was I following?
what
was on their mind?
I don't know
but I walked concaved into a
footprint
I wondered who would
walk in mine

I was a girl when I met your kind.
Yours was my first scent of refined,
Cultured class.
Leather and lather.
I am in love with you and your brothers,
The way you strut and prance.
Head high, alert eyes.
Yes, I still look for that confident
Bounce in the stride of your
Working-class cousins.
The flag of majestic strength,
Regal boldness.
Fearlessness.
The walk of a winner.

Nature's hand, a canvas can change
Artist uses seasons, variety range
Summer when skies, blue and high
Lift spirits allowing, daydreams fly
Autumns scene, so random and brief
Focus on colour, as changing leaves
Drying-flutter, down towards ground
Silent fall, death makes no sound
When winter chill, brings snow
Life a short time, slowly grow
Until spring, impatient rush
Thaws soil, plants grow lush
Pop-up warns, coming days
Light flashes lift, sunrays
Artist-nature, paint brushes seasons
Colour pallet, teaching reasons
Define picture, on canvas paint
Living-visual, acts live bait
Eyes scan, beauty we know
Earths beginning, reality sow
Changing pictures, morn till night
Waking sunburst, or twilights flight
All are precious, captured to freeze
Left in memories, over time to tease.....

About this poem:
unsual snow patterns have given NZ a reality check, though it is cold in the north, we hopefully won't have snow like the south, but this in our short winter, herald of spring ....so soon will warm, ready for summer when dreams are born.....

As a leaf floats, your outstretch wings
Pure beauty of nature, a heart sings
On currents of air, hover and glide
Visually -effortless, may you ride
Over the hills and valley of life
Sighting of peace, never strife
Freedom to view, heaven to earth
To end of time, from nature's birth
Mesmerized I stand, drink in the scene
Watched before, so know it's no dream
Spectacle of nature, true spiritual gift
Over fields-by ways, may you always drift
Reminding us, of the simple things
That if we give time, birds on a wing
Can show us what living, is all about
Beauty surrounds us, all matters-counts.

About this poem:
as some know I live surrounded by acres of open crop growing land Hawks are not seen here as much as Northland and other rural areas, but even on the outskirts of NZ largest city, they are time stoppers.....

The tunnel i walked
was dark with darting
sun light touching spots with
tender caresses from leaf to leaf.
Touching me too
I smiled with glee.
Looking up above to the cannopy
of trees interlocked, swaying
seemingly in a loving embrace.
Life could not be better.
Crinckling leaves underfoot,
birds hopping, singing, scatching
for a breakfast in dead wood,
that invited birds in
like a street cafe
but, no charge levied.
Here my tunnel concealed me,
from the reality of bustling
people, peeping horns of traffic.
Children screeching,
dogs barking aloud.
No, I will stay in my
tunnel, under the cannopy
of swaying trees,
in peace and harmony.
No charge levied.

flight of a hundred swifts
over fields of Summer lifts
leaving songs as parting gifts
departing arrows in darting shifts
