Debbie’s One Word Sunday: Early

A song to listen while reading. It is the early song from my early life

Awaken
my love
the sun has
tried to
break through.
The distance
shrouded
trees appear
await
bird song.
I am
the mist
ready
to envelop
your senses.
Awaken
my love
love
has broken
through.
The mist
has risen
my body
awaits
gentle touch.
Awaken
my love
’tis early.

Making faces

The Weekend Challenge: The Face

So many
objects
have a face.
Do you
see them
walking
through the shops.
I do
they are
making faces
they are there
inanimate faces
they are always looking
waiting
for you
making faces.

Smug tree

Ghostly water

Skeleton tree

An unfortunately named Jap Pumpkin *why

The goofy slippers


The shocked incense burner

Bully

He said,
all we did
was come to taste
the nectar,
my friend
and I.

His friend said,
we flew in
when we saw
delicious flowers,
my friend
and I

They flew
onto my grevillea
coloured clowns
so I pecked
his head
I’m not a bully

Now it’s time
for a fly away
leave my flowers
just go,
his friend
and him

Sparkles like diamonds

Jez’s Water Water Everywhere #43

The dam in the distance
in the early morning sun
ducks cruising along
swimming for fun.

Long green grass
on the edge of the dam
provides enough food
for cattle, sheep and a lamb.

Overhead Egrets and Ibis
wheel about in the sky
ready to descend to feed
in the grass nearby.

Sparkles and shimmer
from way over there
thinking of course
of water water everywhere.

Lights radiance shows all

Freedom

Published on by bushboy6 Comments

Debbie’s quotation inspired image

“I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free… so other people would be also free.

– Rosa Parks

The web
is designed
to ensnare
to restrict freedom
spreading
threads radiating
waiting for the tremble
the fear
the struggle
to be free

Coming
finding
sensing
knowing
held tight
what to do
at once
resignation
your fate
determined

Rolling threads
tying
tightness
what it means
to be free
to see
that sky
to feel the wind
the breeze
the sun
warming
freedom
