Have you ever looked
deep into a sad child’s eyes or
have you ever stopped to listen
the their sad and lonley cries.
Most people refuse to believe it
although it is quite true,
that many children need mercy today
as many also need you.
So many children are beaten
and living in despair,
cause we don’t ever realize that
they need someone to care.
So many [...]

(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 [...]

If I take a shred of 1980s time, and clutch it tight
(From when optimism shined, and felt no need for second sight);
And contain it in the formula, that I’m preparing now,
I can climb the trees in modern woods, and never break a bough.
Should I snatch a scrap of Paris, clasping firmly with my grip
(So the [...]

(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 [...]

I’m now sworn against hypocrisy, which lets me poke and prod
All the minor faults of Christians, while I miss the love of God.
I defend my rights to swindle you, as long as I can pick
One cathedral in a hundred, where the dead have caught the quick.
So I shun the men, who promulgate and serve communion [...]

Is she waiting in the snowfall of an unseen distant plateau,
That still lives today on Christmas cards all packed up now? Is that so?
Would the lamps that light the pathways put a glow upon her face?
Are these images of fantasies all gone without a trace?
Is she staring from the window of a house, with fascination,
And [...]

He stood on the edge of a suburb, where house windows faced an expanse
Of bushes and forest and small hills; and readied himself, with a chance.
He stood on the edge of a sunset, with houses not far from his rocks,
And somehow the sunset was lengthened, slowed up through a trick of the clocks.
He harnessed the [...]

God made the World in just six days,
And took one off to rest.
He blessed it with some solar rays,
To warm the first bird’s nest.
God chose to give the world He made
To man, made from the grounds;
With just one rule: Don’t eat that fruit
From one tree out of bounds.
The man and woman broke the rules,
And poisoned [...]

I’m in love with fall
I love the changes
That comes in the fall
With raucous cheering
While watching football.
The beauty of trees
Leaves so eye appealing
So eager to please,
Decked out in Jacobs’s coat
Fluttering in the breeze.
Crisp apples snapping
With every bite,
And cut out pumpkins glowing bright
The aromic odors
Of the baking pies
Tantalizing whiffs that brightens the eyes.
And of course
Turkey in the [...]
