The book (that’s still on the way)

Jul 14, 2018

When this blog hit the 10-year mark, I planned on compiling a “best of” – which would be an e-book collecting what I considered my most meaningful creative pieces over that period. It was quite a feat to go through so much content, but I eventually settled on a body of material that I believed would work. The idea was that there would be three distinct areas: poetry (the biggest portion), reflections and prose, and photography. … More The book (that’s still on the way)

Remembrance

Remember the One
Who is always with you,
Who loves for you to ask of Him,
Who listens to your pleas,
Who guides your heart to that which is best for you. … More Remembrance

Knock knock.
Who’s there?

You know who.

That annual visitor,
who comes around
to remind you of how strong you really are.

The birth of a new day

Apr 14, 2018

I step out
onto this familiar rooftop,
Observing the still morning air
While others below hurry
to start their morning routines.

Approaching the edge,
I gaze upon the suburbs
as thick layers of cloud float across the sky,
Pushed by the fresh morning wind. … More The birth of a new day

God’s light show

Mar 29, 2018

You light up the sky:
thin streaks of pure electricity;
powerful and vast;
the prelude to nature’s rumbling thunder;
a reminder to all … More God’s light show

The window above

Dec 8, 2017

I sit on top of the mountain:
hearing the Chinese tourists behind me,
Americans too – that unmistakable New York accent,
The French and Germans,
other Europeans,
Indians,
those from elsewhere in our continent.
A tapestry of humanity… … More The window above

Morning Light (The Abode of Peace)

Nov 17, 2017

I’m captivated by the glory of early morning light
hitting our beloved, majestic mountain.

That timeless memorial of this place,
Put here by the One Whom no man can match,
In the ability to design, build, create. … More Morning Light (The Abode of Peace)

Stolen moments

Oct 30, 2017

Over a decade later,
I sit here again.
My beloved rooftop.
My fortress of solitude.
My former home away from the stresses of life.

I close my eyes,
Shut out the visual perception.
Experiencing only my other senses… … More Stolen moments

Book 2: Three Stars

Oct 20, 2017

Three stars
I’d see when staring into the night sky.

Three stars
I’d wish to watch
with my then-unknown beloved. … More Book 2: Three Stars

Taken from the poem "Rise" - which is part of the upcoming "Let it Flow" anthology. Details at https://dreamlife.wordpress.com/book: With this rising, may you rise above the murky waters of your past, may you be elevated beyond who you are, to who you are becoming. May the Light of this day – this start, be accompanied by Truth, Courage, Wisdom, and opportunity. For this day has come with all those things, and all you have to do is look deep within, and recognise the capabilities that have been planted within your very being.

Book 2: Rise

Sep 21, 2017

Rise, Rise.
The dawning of a new day.

Suburbs lay quiet,
resting under the blanket of morning clouds,
only the tree tops and buildings remain visible.

Morning flights, begin slowly.
Birds alone, birds in flocks.
People in flocks, gathered in the single, man-made vehicle of flight. … More Book 2: Rise
