Every weather
tells a story
a mood-changer
it compels me-

raindrops and snowdrops
the sunshine reflecting on the sea
how each wave of wind sobs
in its individual melancholy-

how the seasons arouse the memory
past scenes flash over the mind
of times merry or unhappy
never have been left behind-

a winter drizzle* marks this morning*
against a darkish brooding sky
why is my heart restlessly stirring?
what's that which is making me cry?
Wednesday, Melbourne time 10.20 a.m.,  I am looking through the garden from my study as I am writing. It's winter here

Sins here or wet

People keep asking me
"What do you want your life to look like in five years?"

they always cringe when I say
"I just want to fight long enough to open my eyes tomorrow morning."

When the rainbow shines bright
Leaving shadows on the water
I'll be there
I'll make you so much stronger

I will forever be there
in the darkest of nights
And in the bluest of days
To show you delights

We will always be one
Together you and I
Forever my sun
There to light up the sky
Don't leave.
