INSPIRING BLOG AWARD

Posted in Awards, Writing, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 1, 2012| 10 Comments »

An Aussie bloke I’ve never met says I inspire him.

The inspiration is definitely mutual.

I write and take pictures.

He draws and designs structures. Two things I can only dream about having the talent to do. I also enjoy reading the back-stories that describe the sometimes frustrations, but always great pleasure he finds while recreating the human form as he sees it.

He has nominated me for the Inspiring Blog Award.

Thanks Michael!

VAPOUR

Posted in iPhone Photography, Photography, Poetry, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 12, 2012| 16 Comments »

My life
Is
A vapour
That has willed me
From
The moment of my birth
When
The light of the world
Seeped
Through
The calm comfort
Cradling me
And
Seduced me
To follow it

In to
This fractured place
That changes
As
I grow
Up and in and outward
Obtaining new perspectives
Which
Are
Temporary
Fleeting
And
Quickly
Passing away
Before
I have had my fill
Of
Whimsical enjoyment
To
Render me breathless

My life
Is
A vapour
Unable to settle
And
Become
Cemented
Because
It is necessary
For
Awakened spirits
To
Roam
Free
