The Book-lover!

Sitting under a tree
Engrossed in a book
The world passes by
No need to look

Within your world
You are at peace
Happy as can be
It’s your release

Alone with a book
Is such sweet pleasure
As you uncover all
Its Earthly treasure

Sometimes fiction
Sometimes reference
You need to choose
It’s your very own preference

With each page
Your mind is fed
Your life enhanced
And your Heart is led

Turning each page
Leads you to uncover
The very thing
That makes you a book-lover!

The Unread Book

I came across a book today
Bought in ’71 on holiday
At 8 years old
It seemed like Gold

Though it remains unread until this day…

Purchased in Northern NSW
It must have been on sale
A Paperback for $1.75
Imagination set to thrive!

Still, it remains unread until this day…

The author is Bill Harney
It’s about Australia’s Country
Excerpts from his life
The fun and also the strife

Though it remains unread until this day…

The title is relaxing
Certainly not too taxing
A lot of fun, it is
‘Content To Lie In The Sun’

Still, it remains unread until this day…

Throughout my life I waited
For that time anticipated
When that feeling would come
In the form of some wisdom

Though it remains unread until this day…

Today I’ve got that feeling
My Heart has started to sing
Without any hesitation
And much anticipation

I started reading this book today!

Sprinkles Of Light

Sprinkles of light
Fade into the distance

The warmth of the day
Giving up it’s resistance

The birds are chirping
In their own unique ways

Taking it in turns
Telling us about their day

A gentle breeze
Serenades us all

Tis the end of the day
As night begins to fall

The temperature decreases
Calmness returns

Our Spirits are settled
The day is ajourned

The Campfire

It seems a long time ago
Too long a time in fact

That I sat around a campfire
To listen and chew the fat

Staring into the ghostly flame
Hearing the crackling wood

I know I would do this
More often if I could

Shrouded by the night
The campfire sings it’s song

Flames dance all about
Amongst the Earthly throng

Long into the night
Stories ring long and ring true

Spirits are restored
Nature’s light shines on through

Deep Within Our Mind…

Deep within our mind
Thoughts drift about
Developing into ideas
Screaming to get out

Triggered by circumstance
Nurtured by time
Aged in our mind
Just like a fine wine

Life changing thoughts
Emerge from within
Changes for the better
A new life begins!
