MORNING POETRY – ‘Natures Ways’

deep sounds of didge
setting out the tone
outside strong wind
moving through tall trees

magpies playing in
a water fountain
black and white coat
ruffling their feathers

thin feet bathed
in the cool wet liquid
droplets of rain expected
any day soon hopefully

it has been hot and dry winter
not much left of the grass
but for a few brown patches
ducks decimating the parsley

what is left of it
only the stalks
nature has her own
timing

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Relax Into It’

the dark circles under the blue eyes
speak for years of sleep deprivation
now relax and breathe
our soul family is with us forever

the heart is where love resides
beyond the pulsing muscle
vibrant body is a safe haven
for the ever present spirit

raw music in the back of the head
the clarity as it comes through
the bold notes and trumpets
the unique symphony

be it our solace that all once ends
the end of the drama is here
the judgement day is in the past
stop the worry and relax into it

let the emotions burn then subside
little bit at a time there is no hurry
stay in the present moment
relieved there is still more to be

becoming new again

HICCUP NOW FIXED!

Thank you dear readers (and listeners) for your patience. It was brought to my attention that some of the audio readings of the poems were posted with an incorrect links. A tech issue I could say 🙂

This has now been rectified.

What I can tell you is that it has been a big learning curve for me. And still continues to be, as I do more of these recordings. It sure is interesting exercise for anyone, to hear your own voice, reading – in my case the poems. What we often don’t realize is how we sound to others, and then again how different our voice sounds on a recorder. A new dimension for sure. 😉

Well, enough for tonight. Just to say that if you wished to hear the poems on this site in my voice, many of them are now available (most for free). And if you feel like posting a comment on any of the poems, feel free to do so (gently please).

I wish you a beautiful sun filled day, wherever you are in the world.

We now have night here in Australia. So stay well and uplifted.

Warmly,

Hana

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Once’

once we see the light we cannot unsee it
once we push through we find the way
once we dream big small dreams merge into one
once we get into the flow the river vanishes
once we see through the drama life becomes fresh
once we draw on strength we find more of it available
once we develop new senses we become a new being
once time disappears the once becomes now
and now what
