A seed
Timely washed and renewed with rain
Soon a green shoot grows
Bursting through the air like a mighty warrior
Proud, fierce, strong
Where there was death
A chance of life
Across the burnt and stricken land
Of black trees and scarred hills
Cracked earth and sweaty rocks
Blistering Sky
Grows a tree that has won the battle
The hope tree lives on (more…)
There’s beauty in the dark
Above the towering gums
The shimmer in the night
A gentle breeze that stirs
A million sparkles
The beauty in the stars
Sweet warm and wet
Slippery tongue
Flutters in the stomach
Hungry for more
What’s the point?
What’s the use?
Grey is how I feel
Black inside
Bury me alive
Leave me alone
Tears inside
Done to my bone
I hate how I feel
A withered weed
Struggling to survive
I thought you were kind
And a decent human being
I trusted you to be my friend
But the rivers of pain
Flow deep inside me
My broken heart again
