Coming ready or not, you call,
And I scramble one last time,
To find a dark secluded spot,
That I can claim as mine.

They say, they can’t control her,
I say, let her anger have its voice.
They say, she cannot be contained,
I say,
Her mind is a cage.
Let her spirit be free.
Lonely Bay

Why are ye named, so Lonely Bay?
Alone perhaps, but lonely, Nay!
How could this be, you have the Sea,
And all that’s wild and all that’s free.

Lonely Bay, we meet again;Two long years have passed,Since I last gazed upon you,With sadness in my heart. I wondered then, “Why lonely?”Alone perhaps; that’s true.But lonely?

A Year to Remember
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
A year to remember,
Or a year to forget,
A year full of hope,

Springtime in Piha

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

It doesn’t matter who your parents tried to make you become.
It doesn’t matter what happened in the family to influence you.
