The Restless Spirit


the restless spirit
in the heart of Dreaming
sowing
the seeds
of progress
in the migrant universe
of desire
you dress in irresistible
garment of light
finding the Way as the clock ticks
you seize the moment
as life twists
and turns
amid the stillness
you capture
the creative force
in the crack of dawn
moulding an edible future
in the spaces
between dreams

The Golden Wattle


You flash your hidden
beauty in the cool light of spring
tempting me
to your tangled web of sweetness

you’re my divine flame of destiny
my sweet petals of desire
scented with passion
under the antipodean sun

you're my dream of dreams
the living flower
of choice
in my endless journey

your magic fragrance beams
through my soul
in a blaze of colour
in the defining moment of need

the intense aroma of your essence
comes to the rescue
as my heart beats for you
in the greatest hour of  desire

you mend the broken hearts
as the earth moves
changing the rhythm of life
under the flowering moon
