Make me a scarf
For winter is approaching
Make it blue and grey
To match the style of my heart

Make it with nothing but love and knitting needles
With wool woven from your soul
The scarf should be long and thick
To cover the emptiness in my life

Hasten to make it
Winter is approaching
Cover my heart

A more wonderful queen I have not encountered
Beautiful collage of wisdom,grace and wonder
You are One in a million
You make my Dreams more beautiful than reality

You appeared like a kind, warm and needed summer rain
The brightest rose amongst the lilies
Feels like a Burgundy silk on my body
You are the taste of heaven

You bring me peace and delicious and edible thoughts
Honey and caramel fused with strawberries and cream
A beauty beyond compare
That's infected your being inside out

Only you my queen can quench my thirst
Only your love can fill me up
Only your beauty can calm my appetite
Only you will do

In the middle of obscurity there was a town
Made of steel, land and sea
It seemed all familiar yet totally new
At the world's end,  far from the noisy crowd

The air smelled just like Durban without the curry
Less humid and weather well behaved
The landmass much smaller
The people were friendly yet indifferent

The sea water as cold as in Cape Town
The beachfront just as windy but less scenic
A place perfect for great walks
Ideal for obscurity

I expected more from this place
My days felt like months
Time slows down in obscurity
The food doesn't taste as nice

Yet there is a whole civilisation here
Generation upon generation settled here
Going about their days
Content with obscurity,  no care for what's yonder

My heart feels one thing
My mind thinks another
My mouth utters something else
My body speaks a foreign tounge

That which I mean to say, I do not
I do that which I wish not
My words contradict my intention
A constant warring within me

I err in my expression
And end up hurting you
Which then hurts me
Making our world sad and blue

Only if my heart would speak
Or bare open for you to see
The purity of intentions within
Unadulterated by my disruptive tounge

There's nothing more beautiful
More soothing 
Than the summer rain
It washes winter's sorrows away
And calms the scorching sun

Heavenly tears of joy descending upon the earth 
It reminds us of times of old
Sweet memories when children played in the rain
Singing pure  songs of innocence
Dancing  in the rain without a care
Life was wonderful and easy

Behold the light thunderstorms
The sounds of heaven speaking to men
 Confirming harvests and goodness upon the land
Even the beasts of the wild rejoice 
Perfect raindrops  that quench the soil
The crops celebrate and drink

Summer rain that comes in the evening
All the sweeter when it comes in the morning
Children dream  sweet dreams
Old men sleep in peace
Calm and harmony in the land

The heavenly drewl from the gods
Always in due season
The best kind of blessing
People lay awake under it's embrace
Full of thanksgiving and optimism about the day

Everyone loves the blessed rain
It gives the writer inspiration
Brings motivation to the farmer
A sign  to the religious man
Hope for the nation

2015 has come and gone like a day
It was long, it was hard, it was fun, it is over
Moments treasured forever
Some buried beyond oblivion

The clock tick tocks towards the morrow
A brand new day awaits
A bright new season
A clean slate
The great  reset button
All becomes renewed

Time forever moving on
The gap of life closing in
Yester year goals down the drain
Fewer chances left to make that mark
Options narrowing down 

Dreams now closer to reality
It is  the year to live out loud
Hope will be reawakened
Time and chance will collide
Destiny shall make a way

Eat healthy, keep fit, stay sharp
Earn more, spend less, save more
Work smarter, keep learning , do more
Stress less, smile more, sleep happy
Think strategically, attack and  PREVAIL!

Always be hungry
Always be thirsty
Never settle
Be tenacious, never give up
Keep believing, keep pushing, keep moving

This is your year!

Here's to an awesome 2016!

Inspire me to love and I will love
Inspire me to triumph and I will do so
Spark an action
Spark a response

Be my muse, be my driver
Take me beyond what I know
Steer me to unknown destinations
Inspire me!
