a feeling of bouyancy
beneath
a
weightless
body.

I almost tread on you
you blend so
into the concrete night,
I take you home
and place you in the pond


Sunday 28 August 2011

no 28

How did they find their way?
Did they smell
the life force?

Is it survival
instinct?

Heard on the grapevine
perhaps gatecrashers
or
were they invited?

Saturday 27 August 2011

suface, no 27

fingers plunge
through a
watery
threshold
disappearing
into
the darkness
of an
imagined
ocean

watching a visitor, no 26

Cold blooded,
moist,
glassy eyed,
staring
between
spaces.

Do you know
I am
there?

conversation, no 25

The moon confides in the water,
leaving an echo on it's surface

Wednesday 24 August 2011

wind, no 24

Wind moving water,
small waves
travelling
through

I imagine another year
and
the bold awakening of growth

Friday 19 August 2011

rain on water, no 19

water on water,
caressing the
surface,
weaving
a pulsating
harmony

no 17,

Paddling
in my garden,
a child again,
breathing
in,
the freedom

Tuesday 16 August 2011

aquatic, no 16

skimming
an
aquatic universe,
legs bowed,
olympic pace,
oarlike nymphs

Monday 15 August 2011

water world, no 15

a microcosm of the universe,
wiggling creatures,
otherly things without names,
a smell of underworlds

Sunday 14 August 2011

a spot to sit, no 14

Hands swimming,
surface sheen broken,
inhabiting shore and water.

Saturday 13 August 2011

life force, no 13

daily traffic droning,
sounds of metal,
teeth on edge,
industry,
pond water,
life force,
movement
and
stillness.

Friday 12 August 2011

symbolic garden

lush vegetation,
the scent of damp ferns,
woodland floor -
a carpet of lichen

re-emerge, no 11

Leaves break down,
becoming fodder,
re-emerging as
an-other

Wednesday 10 August 2011

float, no 10

A dream
of floating,
its dark
the sides are shallow.
I remain
just floating
gazing at the
star sky.

aqua pura, no 9

Feeding visitors,
enables the act
of witnessing
as time slows.

Monday 8 August 2011

ground work, no 8

plants,
roots,
stones,
insects,
seeds,

transient things, no 7

Settling in time,
a laying of foundations
and yet
there is a transience
in
these earthly things


Saturday 6 August 2011

no 6

discovering a new part of self,
soothed and held by water sounds,
able to shape shift through worlds
above and beneath

Friday 5 August 2011

no 5

Surfacing,
hardly noticeable,
emerging,
micro world,
of living
busy bodies,
skimming,
glass light.

frog, no 4

blending in,
taking up house,
moving in - a squatter,
so subtle you'd
hardly notice

Wednesday 3 August 2011

deep surface, no 3

A daily ritual - peeping in,
spying new growth,
a shadow - shape shifting
leaf falling - landing,
consumed - decaying,
feeding - restoring.

underworld, no 3

feet soothed,
shocked by coolness,
disappearing beneath
an underworld

Tuesday 2 August 2011

frog, no 2

blending flawlessly,
sage, spinich, blue green,
it springs from a dark rock,
from beneath the water surface,

Monday 1 August 2011

water, no 1

in the back ground,
in motion - continuum

August

August and another month. I have a new pond, its just in the development stage, growing, plants and rocks bedding in. I am going to be writing my moments in time on observations and experiences around this new and changing environment.
