Playground Contemplation

An excerpt….

Most days in silence she slips within

to question if past acts of child abuse

can ever leave one unscathed

in a world that loves make believe

and punishes children telling tales.

In the jungle gym of her mind,

she yearns for that hour of liberation.

Pen Point Survival

She dreamt of living solely by words

For words are her wings, as flying is for birds

To rise, writing down, all she needed said

Inky waves pressed on paper, styled to be read

Gauna and Inaki: Time and Meaning

An excerpt...

As the spirits of Past, Present and Future, they had grown to exist in harmony with one another. They had learnt that the true nature and power of love is transformative. As siblings it would now be their shared knowledge, their collective Pacific consciousness, working gently with the slow awakening of humankind that would eventually lead all people to strive for a heaven on earth for all. Back in the warm embrace of his beloved Gauna, Inaki rested in her existence while he told of the challenges being carried to their region by the winds of change. Nearby, Past, Present and

Future respectfully listened.
