carved in his life lines...

A sculpture by William Ricketts at Seawinds, Arthurs Seat on the Mornington Peninsula


carved in his life lines
story of many seasons
and many visions

SOOC Sunday 

my days may be grey...

my days may be grey
I may be shrouded in mist
but somewhere sun  shines


NOTE:
The photo above was taken on the Dromana foreshore track - December 2011.
Summer was just beginning.

while vines are sleeping...

while vines are sleeping
cooling skies and lonely art
exchange their sad sighs


NOTE
Montalto Vineyard, on the Mornington Peninsula near Red Hill, pictured above, has many unusual  artworks scattered through the vineyards.
Somehow in the Autumn/Winter season, those artworks seem quite stark - with the leafless vines as a backdrop.

I wish I could frame...

I wish I could frame
our bright skies and precious leaves
in a crystal ball

A drowning...

waves, my dogs and I
we choose our rhythms and sounds
your music's drowned out

Fortitude

Our back verandah, with all its side branches and viewing deck, is almost gone.
The wood was just getting too rotten and unsafe.
Rather than repair, our landlord chose to remove it.
So now we are waiting for the new one to emerge.


when old worlds are stripped
fortitude clasps next beauty
close to the spirit


See how many are better off than you are, but consider how many are worse.
- This will hurt me

Cacophony

One of the attractions at the recent Westernport Festival at Hastings on the Mornington Peninsula.


A magic circus
Cacophony of hues like
A candy rock band

Origami

One of many colourful, unusual kites flying in the annual Kite Festival held this weekend on the Rosebud foreshore, Mornington Peninsula.


Strange kite fantasies
Like some origami dreams
Waiting to unfold

How full of trifles everything is! It is only one's thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture

Breeze...

Slow dance of ev'ning
Clouds reaching for random wings
Breeze waltzing the seas

Sunlight flickering on waters at Rosebud beach, Port Phillip Bay


Shimmer of sunlight
Like words for our new music
Living a new dance

A view of cold dawn sea mist some months ago (it is summer now) in my Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula


World of wires and leaves
A sugar dust of dawn light

Red

In my mind's red room
Where the dollars have no wealth
Rich passions cavort

Angels

When the night lingers 
When my world's just a desert
There's always angels
