sunrise and free time
thoughts travel beyond this day
peace in this moment
Sunrise

Some of this
Less of that
Fear of few
Love of lots
Plenty to give
Thankful to receive
Words that build
Ears that listen
Hearts that sing
Those who laugh
Hands that help
Spirits that soar
Colours that matter
Differences that don’t
Friendship to warm
Music to soothe
Places to see
Those I’ve seen
Paths that meander
early morning flight
aisle seat next to a stranger
conversation starts
early morning flight
open arms meet open hearts
family gathers
tide ebbs to the east
the sun climbs towards the west
life is give and take
a harem of stars
while sea-mist veils the pre-dawn
Venus holds my heart
sunrise promises splendour
only one can claim my love
northerlies hasten
life and death in equal share
no pref’rence offered
In the distance a magpie calls,
Tentatively.
I slide out of bed and slip on a tracksuit,
Sleepily.
The dog uncurls from her bed,
Expectantly.
It’s walk time –
A cup of tea for me,
Stretching and sniffing for the dog.
The darkness cloaks our departure.
Possums take to the power-lines as we pass.
The morning is ours right now.
I can hear the sea.
Gentle waves sigh against
The coarse sand beach.
Curlews cry out from the rocky point,
Heralding the arrival
Of a new born day.
Piccaninni dawn –
Nothing showy;
Pastels of orange, yellow and blue.
Soft light that glows
And lightly tints the bay –
This is why I’m here.
Winter sunrise beckons –
To the early fisherman, waiting
To the dog and the walker, whistling
To the cyclist, breathing hard
To the athletic couple, running
To the lover, returning
To the pelican, preparing
To the poet, watching.
Poetry is my aeroplane
