Springtime in Piha
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
Black sand flies rhythmically
behind the black dog, who joyfully
digs and digs and digs and digs and digs
Then pauses, looks up, expectantly at his owner
Do you approve? Did you notice?
Beautiful Piha

With the rising of the sun
The arrival of dawn
Another day is awakening
I have survived, weathered the storm.
It doesn’t matter
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
It doesn’t matter who your parents tried to make you become.
It doesn’t matter what happened in the family to influence you.
Coming Home

And the wildness of this place,
Unleashes the longing in my soul.
To speak my truth.
For I am known here.
And that is all I can ever hope for.
And that is more than enough.
Borrowed glasses

I peer at you through borrowed glasses.
Inexplicably, I have left mine behind.
Magnification doesn’t bring you closer.
Rather, you are blurred. Out of focus,
ECLIPSE
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
The tide, which has always, and reliably
ebbed and flowed,
assisted by the steady gravitational pull of the moon,
has gone out
and stayed out.
I’m knotted up inside
Knit one purl one
As panic starts to rise
Slip one drop one
Tears betray my eyes
Illusions

I threw the dice today,
But the numbers didn’t stack up.
I forced you to be honest,
And now my heart is broken.
Childhood Memories

What did I see, Mummy?
What did I hear?
I’ve lost my voice, Mummy,
I’m frozen by fear.
