One Heart, One Hope

Once I had hoped that my thoughts

Would transcend the vast distance

And space between us

Maybe a thought or hope

Would become tangible

In its effort to be noticed

A word here or there

A subtle nuance

Revealing my true feelings

Carried on the wind

Or written in the stars

Would reach you

And you might understand ...

But you were not open

To my need of you

Or perhaps not aware

You did not hear me

Or my words

You did not feel my presence

Oblivious to how I felt ...

Perhaps you knew

But did not want to know

Or did not care

How would I have known?

You did not say

You should have said ...

But now is it too late?

Since you come to me again

And your warmth
Touches my heart
And comforts me again ... 

For that was once 

And in the past

When I put aside

All of my dreams

And remained

One heart, one hope

Alone but together in my singularity

My future, always one of uncertainty ...

You Come To Me ....

You come to me so softly

Just before the day

I cannot hear your footsteps

But I feel you just the same

The warmth of your presence

Like the sun’s first rays
The closeness of you
Takes my breath away

To know that you are near me

Takes the shadows away...

As Evening Falls ...

As evening falls

At the closing

Of a warm Autumn day

And dusk tints the sky

And shadows form

I like to walk barefoot

Upon the dew kissed grass

It is soft and cool

Beneath my feet

I love the feeling

Of the cool misty air

Its gentle touch

Cool upon my skin

A soft breeze stirs

And caresses the leaves

I look to the stars

To guide my way

The moonlight is clouded

But it lights my way

As I search in the night

For an elusive flower

Its delicate perfume

Scents the evening air

Its perfume beckons

But eludes me still

Its mystery remains

Veiled by the night…

Autumn Light

My patio rose on the kitchen window sill in yesterday afternoon's Autumn light. This rose is unusual in that it produces flowers with different shades of colour, from a deeper apricot pink (see image January 27, 2015) to this golden beauty. If I leave the flowers on the plant they will fade to white.

Note the damage to my insect screen from the native Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.

The same rose in this morning's soft Autumn light. The temperature earlier today was cool and fresh but now the day has warmed, it is very hot in the sun, around 30 degrees Celsius. Summer days are reluctant to leave.
