(1)Young Tom visited his great aunt, until he was ten years old,
And soon after his next birthday, her old mansion would be sold,
Since she died, and he would miss them both, as nine years changed the date.
He completed school, did two years work, and started college late.
(2)At the end of his first Uni year, he [...]

(1)My first Blue Mountains journeys were on Sydney’s country trains,
With scenery improving, once I’d gone past Emu Plains.
I did not know the passengers around me, but perhaps one
Might care to play a card game, since we’d only come to Lapstone
(2)I closed my vintage fiction novel fast. So I could then look,
To see surrounding bushland, as [...]

When I was young, there was a song-”when I leave The World Behind”-
I’ll leave the sunshine, for the summer-
I’ll leave the tree tops, for the breeze,
I’ll leave the moon above, for those in love-
When I leave the world, behind!
I’ll leave the moonlight, for the dreamers,
I’ll leave the great ships for the seas-
And for the “Old [...]

By Heart 4 poetry on July 19, 2009
I feel the the dew
from the fresh cut
grass beneath my
bare feet. The
sweet, alluring scent
of the blossoming
trees catches my
attention as the warm,
peaceful breeze wraps
me in comfort. I
find myself wondering
in a bed of flowers and
just in the middle stands
a delicate, red rose.
The divine beauty stands
as if it is about to speak
for itself. I awaken to
a beautiful spring [...]

MY HEART……is not in the City;
With its crowds moveing where no one knows-
It is out in the hills of the PRAIRIE:
With their strong SWEEPING WINDS-
And their SNOWS!
Its out where the stacks of the harvest
Once stood in the trail of the “Boo”-
Who came humming along with his PITCHFORK;
And….stayed till the NORTHERLEES BLOW!
Its out where the SUNSETS [...]

I met her down beside the moonlit river-
I wandered with her, through the summer days-
We did not leave, and say goodbye forever-
For in the autumn leaves, our love still stays.
As long as falling autumn leaves are golden-
As long as stars across the twilight gleams-
Her heart will come to mine, along that river,
And we can watch [...]

It sleeps beneath the grass and leaves,
Wherever the wild winds roam-
The untrod path, of Other Days-
Across the hills toward HOME!
The hurrieing feet of other days,
Have wandered on a thousand ways-
And down the little path toward home,
They can return… no more!
WE KNOW the years MUST drift away-
Till all of them are gone;
Leave only PICTURES of the [...]

The skies are always golden for a DREAMER-
Even on days when they are cold and gray-
The Witching wind still blows across the meadow-
And all the flowers come back again in May!
Come with ME, and HOLD MY HAND-
Is Religion all folk UNDERSTAND;
And show the world a happy smile-
WE ARE ONLY HERE A LITTLE WHILE.

Present Day
It was the first Monday in weeks when I was not in office before ten. As I saw the frosted sundial of my old citizen ticking eleven thirty, I cursed myself for the umpteenth time for choosing that insurance company. I found out that the other companies did not require so many tests after [...]
