brushed with stillness...

skies over boats moored at Hastings...

brushed with stillness
just lone wings flying
a sense of peace

#RIPRichieBenaud You taught me to take an interest in the cricket world. Your voice was both melodic and inspiring. You are a gem.

Drop Off

A sign on the Hastings foreshore on Westernport Bay.
The small beach seems to have shallow waters, but very quickly the waters deepen.
That explains why these boats seem to be moored so close to the beach area.

a warning
unwise to ignore
dropping off

Bay of Ships

Skies over Port Phillip Bay as viewed from Brighton beach

Horizon of masts
Like a tight fleet of white keels
Like some match-stick toys

Drift

Boats waiting round a pier at Schnapper Point, Mornington

Boats, dreams, memories
Drift on the whims of the tides
Like waiting for chance

Over 50! And Motoring!

T.S.Eliot's poetry has never failed to intoxicate me! In fact, his sunlight on a broken column, his midnights and lamp posts, his female rhythms mouthing Michelangelo pleasantries are all bound up in the "overwhelming question" of our real biorhythms and souls! ~ We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is, knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out. ~~~~Ray Bradbury ~~~~ Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass. ~~~Anton Chekhov ~~~ Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. ~Angela Monet

AUSTRALIAN BLOGGER

Footfalls echo in the memory, Down the passage which we did not take, Towards the door we never opened Into the rose-garden.- T.S.Eliot .............................. My page was too white/My ink was too thin/The day wouldn’t write/What the night pencilled in -'The Book of Longing' Leonard Cohen..................... Creative discord of fractured harmonies! Between the Question and the Answer is A Hush... A Whisper... A Dreaming...

The grit of raw desert lands whirls on the winds in erotic rhythms - sometimes. - Greyscale
