Watch for the vultures
All life gives, it takes away
Taking laboured breaths
Deep as the ocean
Still. She listens to the world
High as the mountain
Darken my harbour
We weather the storm. Our hearts –
Beat in unison
Dawn, time of solace
Restless Kookaburra calls
Awake. Peace disturbed
We sit, tea in hand
Perched on a porch, looking out
At the end of life
Morning light of spring
Cracked ice slips beneath the dark
To join the water
Dreams are for living
Love keeps us from forgetting
Shifting sands of time
Free to smoke a joint
Inhale, smile, dance, dream and rage
Just to make a point
Raindrops falling fast
Birdsong in the morning light
Alone. Eyes open
One with the current
To our destiny we float
Ripples of water
