but boy could he dish out those jabs and ad lib on a whim and draw sweet melodies from that broken 6 string all night long
carving out reflections oh, those deep intuitive divinations! steadily preaching on the breathtaking joys and fruits of the vibrant land
grow your own seeds to be sown clean and green a nourishing machine! silver linings (straight from truth room) clearly seen from those uncompromised garden views
casting his baited lines from softly pebbled shores (his nanna, and poppa were there, years before) giving grace… and basking deeply in the bounty of the fenua
his love of life was insatiable moving from town to town to nourish his soul digging way beyond the deep for that shrouded purpose that soulful existence that many spend a lifetime looking to find
three boats settle in the quiet harbor a net shed basking in the sand peaceful and serene (with a hint of emerald green) Sunset red with crawfish (and lemongrass) to keep us bountifully fed
