Zest

Each Australia Day, there is a fun run through Dromana from Safety Beach to Rosebud on the foreshores of Port Phillip Bay.
Here, runners are passing Dromana pier in the early hours of the morning.

Participation
A sign of zest for living
Spirit in action

Empty

Erased summer charms
Holiday costumes are gone
Empty sands and seas


But in distant greys
Like dust on a cam'ra lens
One lone rider dreams

Clarity

Dense changing colours 
Twisting ragged confusions
Shadowed glimpse of light

But as you live life
Cling to visions and purpose
Keys to clarity

Temptation

Mist swirling round the old council chambers in Dromana with Arthurs Seat mountain in the background.

Low cold Autumn mists
Temptation to return home
Curl up by his fire

Melody

Seas and skies churning
Melody of pending storm
Like an 1812



NOTE: Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture features booming cannons at the close.
The sound always reminds me of thunder in storms.
I tried to embed an example but it simply wouldn't post!
Now it's appearing? Sorry!

Kismet

Bright golds upon gold
Glowing life round ANZAC Day
It must be kismet

NOTE: Today is ANZAC Day - 25th April - when Australian and New Zealand forces first faced action in World War I.
The image captures part of a memorial in a Dromana park - and the gold flowers always bloom at this time - in Autumn.

Honeybees

Yellow jacket wasp

Much like yin and yang
Honeybees and wasps wear gold
But one goes to war

NOTE: I was thinking of two concepts.
The Yellow Wasps were a paramilitary group active in the Bosnian War in the 1990's.
The Honeybees are an acapella gospel group based in Sydney.

But even sweet innocence
Caresses shadows
