Every day a victory

Every day a victory
When before the dawn

I rise from sleep
To greet the sun
With song and peace

Then in its light
Join reverie
For life and love
And Harmony

At those times
When the moon is visible
In the light of day
I may be reminded
That darkness is never far away

I may think of friends
Who are far away
But always in my orbit
Always there
Even if not visible
In my daylight skies

I don’t know
If there is a heaven

But I try to live every day
As if it were a tread
On the staircase
Which would take me there

The light does not come unbidden
But is always there

All I need
Is to open my eyes

Remembering

That by “eyes”
I mean heart

I watch over
The underdogs
And lost causes

I assure
Their voices
Are heard

I speak for them
When they cannot
Speak for themselves

I sit upon this Earth
And revel in her choices
The miracles
That Nature makes

No strokes go wrong
She’s always right
And so I learn
What beauty is

Old Man Rock
He sits there watching
Spinifex and gum trees
Emu and the wallabies

Old Man Rock
He’s steady-on
I sit upon him
Wondering

At all that is
And ever was
And what it means
And what becomes

Some people see the light
And embrace it
The light becomes
A part of them

In time
With practice
They become
The light

I drive through history
Illuminating the present
Drawing a map
Into the future

I remind myself
Do not linger in the past
I need to know where I am
And look where I am going

I love
The colours
Of life

The vivid ones
Of course
Neons and electrics
Brash and confrontational

The crazy-ass kind
I never knew existed
Never thought could exist
