 Beaches, in house dining, cinemas are again locked down. 

Guess we will have to call our friends more often.

were they to avoid sky

could they still fly

island people we

blessed by waves courting  beach sands -

rainbows colour ooze

a lovers embrace 

these encircling waters -

limit our sphere

springs from the mountain

fathom our amazement -

as our eyes lift

spring of true solace

quiet the mind and soul like

a blessing bequeath

back to the lover

to be cuddled in embrace -

ocean abundance

no one roars

staring into the waters -

no one roars -

these pandemic days

full of stillness 

staring into the waters

a fierce lion king morphs -

into a lamb

frightened creatures -

seek the peace of healing

for a broken earth

 de homeless man rests ...

a bench 'round -de-savannah'

under Poui trees

❧✿❧

the Pomerac tree -

fallen pink inflorescence

a natural  carpet

childhood home garden 

a memory of many trees -

a long time ago

fruit trees strong and tall

in the yard where i grew up -

the long rod picker

with salt and pepper

fruit from the Mango Vere tree

eaten green in chow

❧✿❧

the city outskirts -

The Emperor Valley zoo

with bordering trees

under a Bay tree -

Royal Botanic Gardens

note our first kiss

at home paradise -

Guava and Avocado

trees gift us their fruit

my love deserts me -

Plum and Mango trees planted

just sweeten longing

Stations of The Cross

Good Friday in The Hollows -

pink Poui blooming

Easter's a-coming

traffic curbs flowering trees -

the savannah arc

all the trees wear green

circling The Savannah -

after blossoms fall
