Have you ever had a fight with a friend,
And feel that the world’s about to come to an end?
Have you not known how to explain how you feel?
Because for me that is totally real.
Angry hot tears flow…

Mystery is elusive,
There are some things we don’t know
We only know a small amount,
So where else do we go?

How about a dictionary,
Or a reference book?
For the internet savvy,
Google gets a look

But to f…

When it’s hard to breathe
And the pain won’t leave
Tip back your head
And let it out
Voices silent
Won’t be heard
Let me wipe away
Your tears
Lift your arms
To the sun kissed sky
And let out
Toxic thoughts
Pois…

The Frenzied Pencil Rush occurs when several orchestral members realise they do not have the writing implement close to hand and need to retrieve it from their bags or cases.
Although this moment has …

Five kilometres of walking tracks. That’s all it took for Danny to get lost in the rainforest. Separation from his group, no compass and youthful exuberance all contributed. He changed from a b…

For the first time this year I was able to get to the annual Clunes Booktown event, run since 2007.

My mother had given me some money for this trip so I didn’t feel guilty about …

When we prune the garden,
we get rid of all the scrap,
Like dead branches, and old growth.
Then with water from the tap,

We replenish nature,
we moisten what is dry
This may not happened
Without rain from …

How many songs can you write about love?
The music soaring high above,
And up and down it goes
Like a spilt set of dominoes
Much is pinned on love and hope,
Without either we wouldn’t cope
Love does not a …

Every second is a moment in time,
And before we know it, it’s passed
But every second’s a blink of the eye
It just travels so fast

We don’t really think about seconds,
Unless we hear a clock
Because time …

In the darkness of the night, a noise was heard across the fields.
“What was that?” a man asked.
“I don’t know,” his wife replied, barely glancing up from her knitting.

Life can be bitterly cruel,
And we can look like a fool
When things go wrong
And we don’t belong,
But are used as a mule

We’ve been taken for a ride,
And let everyone else decide,
What clothes we wear,
Do w…

My muse has gone awandering,
Has it gone far away?
‘Please come back,’ I say to it,
‘I would like you to stay.’

I never know when it will leave,
Or when it will return
These things are unpredictable,
A bit…

If I stood here back then I wouldn’t be today,
And to be safe each day I can only pray.

The Primary School Piano sat in a corner of the hall, covered in dust and nearly
forgotten, if not for the actions of a group who hired the hall each week.
One night it felt itself being moved and g…

So much in the Bible, really isn’t there
while it’s basically in the words,
We have to imagine, listen, think
Then act on what we’ve heard

But that can be hard at times,
How do …

I juggled music and potatoes,
I had some in each hand
MUSICAL potatoes I feel,
Would be rather grand

So can you do the potato dance,
(just sit there like a blob!)
they are not elegant,
unlike corn on the c…

Every rubber band is round,
When you pull them, they make a twangy sound
Some are thick and others thin,
Around your finger you can make them spin
You could pull them rather tight,
But you could give your…

I saw a feather fly without a bird
It spun and hovered in the morning air
