Old man dreaming
In the crumbling light of Uluru
Pale visions
Pale lifetimes
But still
I was and
I am
My mind is the pulse of lingering dance
My soul the whimsy of ancient breath
I am the child of yesterday
Free to be
The spirit of tomorrow
Terra australis
Incognito
For some
But the rainbow serpent
Sleeps
A restless sleep
Within the valley of fears
Tears
Roaming years
But still I was and
I am
Old man dreaming
I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman

Hi, I love your poetry. I am a fellow writer at Helium.com. Today I actually rated one of your poems and decided to track you down. LoL. Your work is very good. I have a poetry blog, "A Hint Of Poetry," where poet's submit their work for possible publication on the site. If you'd like to submit you have a great chance of being in the poet's spotlight, and I will provide you with link backs to your Helium poems if you wish.
Here's the address,

(Submission guidelines are on the site)
Thank you very much!
