As the great wave approaches
Time it and cut through

As the mighty Earth shakes
Steady and hold tight

When facing the impossible wall
Tear the ****** down

I saw a tree growing in the earth
Before the sun
It's roots streched down
Fruit ripened and fell
Towards the past
There I lay my head
Upon the mountain

I saw a great wave approach
Gathering twilight
I gazed into the sea
Whales danced and sang
For our future
There I lay my head
Upon the moon


SJA2025

One human sits in a box
Shaping the future

Using primitive tools
With exceptional creativity

Never completely satisfied
But foretelling a dream

Shifting the cosmos
One grain at a time

Old friend with knowing heart

These gifts of emotion deserve thanks


That which cannot be put into words

Flows from my being with blinding light


I give my humble gift to you

Let these hands of healing embrace


Softly and with a gentle reminder

Together we can be



SJA2025

If I’ve not mentioned

That you look beautiful

It’s because I forgot my name



SJA2025

Open heart, nestled in a hollow.  

Eagerly peeking through the green.


Sacred heart, will not be denied.

Sound the call when shadows invade.


Broken heart, achingly solitary.

Jump, and taste freedom.


Inner heart, bashful yet bold.

Stretch, and rise on shaky legs.


Morning has broken,

My heart.



SJA2025

Keen blue eye from homeland to sea

Aotearoa, where have you been?


Hunting with those long forgotten

Catching surge with ease


Heed the mountain’s call

Match prowess with speed


Dip a wing and plummet

Onrush of Kauri


The hunt is on,

For those long gone



SJA2025

Stirring up trouble

A joy you can taste

So much and you *****


SJA 2025

I will cry out against my captors.

If I don’t I should be dead.


Paint my back and put me in your cage.

Fail to see I am multicoloured.

I run free as you turn grey.



SJA 2025

Behold the bureaucrat

It will eat you

The world for dessert
