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.

Return to Lonely Bay
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
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? Nay, that could not be,‘Twas me just feeling blue. That day your beach lay empty,No footprints to be seen,And something deep inside me,Recognised…
A Year to Remember
Posted in Many Paths Many Voices
A year to remember,
Or a year to forget,
A year full of hope,

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 who your parents tried to make you become.

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.

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,
