MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Tea Tree River’

it took aeons
yet we savored
every moment

simply gliding
mirrored surface
of the river

at sunrise
we took off
in a kayak

paddling gently
returned smiling
almost at dusk

solitude on the water
no other soul around
apart from goannas

tea tree color
spanning wide and deep
hiding bull sharks

in the everglades
the sun emerges and retreats
undisturbed

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Oh! my’

meditating on the I
where is it, oh! my
comfy cushion
cross legged pose
contemplating
on words those

inside the body
hiding obscurely
amongst others
anchored surely

fleeting moment
this big mystery
as life becomes
history
