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

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Mirrors of Sand’
swirling tornado
nimble and savage
robust and bold
raw energy
fierce motion
tireless
out and in its core
mirrors of sand
liquid imagery
vanity on the move
fantasy of security
just a mirage
Poem ‘Mirrors of Sand’ read by the author.
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

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘That Forecast!’
Wind and darkness
Sleepless night ensured
Forecasted thunderstorm
Massive rain predicted
Rivers overflowing
Muddy banks
The forest still asleep
Five am wake up call
Pack the bags and go
Down the steep slopes
Regen not woken up yet
The only car for fifty km
Just before the sun rose
Once down that’s where
The wet started to show
Road diversions in place
River crossings filling up
One way into the unknown
Is it dry enough to pass?
Nervous smile with excitement
There is a lead car ahead
Shall keep up with them
No chance at that bullet speed
Flying through the waters
On the run or in a hurry
Heart rate up just as
The water in the creeks
No other car on that road
There we go diving alone
Is there more to come?
Or is the worst behind us
Now the race is up with
Our energy bars
Reaching close to zero
Escape from the rain
Chasing us around
Many hours later
Resting
The sky broke in half
More is on the way
Is here the right place
To stay dry and safe?
What is with this weather!
Pouring again
Stay safe and above the waters dear friends ♡
