Easter Island
Hark to the call
Of the siren.
Empathetic and alluring
Our ritualistic dance of nature
Ushers in day.

Sacred
The love of an angel
Symbolized by
A white feather
On the floor.
A heavenly expanse
Beyond Jerusalem’s gate
Seals our bond
Evermore.

Whistle Blower
All aboard
All aboard
The black train.
From Tanzania
To the Congo
Ethiopia to Kenya
She just keeps on
Shuttling’ along.

Craft
Alone
Awash on a bay
With just the sea reptiles
For company.
Two snakes envelope my legs
And coil to the top.

Halo
Sweet child of colour
The vaunted
The dispossessed.
Your tiny footsteps
Lead back to Africa
India
Japan
Mexico...
And the stars.

Soverign
Holiest of holies
Our joy is boundless
Your reign eternal
Supreme.
We look for you in nature
Smiling on the cosmos
In the Garden of Eden
Birds and angels sing songs
To glorify your name.
A tree stands
In the background.

Rooftops
On the rooftops
Catburglar
With a bundle of swag.
Through the chimney
Open windows
Everyday a new bag.
Mask punctured with eyeholes
Not even a sound
Is heard as delicately
He completes a new round.
A couple sleep
Husband hides a shotgun
Beside the door
Waiting for clues.
Counting down minutes of insomnia
As his wife completes her snooze
Tip toed
Outsmarted his neighbours
And two of his friends.
Best believe
Cat burglar
Won’t be in such a hurry again.
