MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Still’
crushing down waves
pouring skies
cut the ties
with the world around
time to reflect
to be with oneself
nowhere else
but inside
busyness stopped
all is calm
silence around
apart from the rain
what do we need
what do we really
crave to do and be
other than that
an opportunity
to go within
to slow down
to be in joy
still…
alive

MORNING POETRY -‘Waiting’
life is full of
twists and turns
coming days
bring big concerns
living on a busy coast
today our town
usually full of noise
slowed right down
never before so quiet
neighbors disappeared
behind brick walls
cyclone is feared
all media feeds
constant stream
yet more pressure
to common theme
Alfred creeps in
at a slower pace
uninvited visitor
to our place
since the virus
that brought all inside
another lockdown
virtually implied
holding us indoors
surely well meaning
glued to the media
our brains cleaning
MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Forecasted’
looming over us
Alfred cyclone grand
under the skin
and over our land
wild and untamed
expecting heavy gale
through our towns
unseen on such a scale
forecasted to hit tonight
with a heavy heart
everyone’s initiative
plays a major part
watching its track map
by a quick glance
an escape from its claws
leaves a little chance
some say it is man made
others blame it on God
who can see through the fog
it is sure a tad odd
eerie feeling on the streets
no birds or noise of traffic
life has slowed down to a halt
silence around almost graphic
what to do with extra time
days seem almost stretched
unexpected undesired
today will be deeply etched
remain put and optimistic
let nature take its course
use this chance to recap on life
and trust the Source
