RAIN RAIN BEAUTIFUL RAIN – LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO

The beauty of an Autumn storm

the pallor of the sky

the tall lean silver barks of trees

leaves let out a mournful sigh

tumble down in wintry winds

on the ground they curl and die

but for now a symphony

plays golden notes amid the hue and cry

absorbed in beauty the fading light

graces the pallid canopy

in subtle nuances the landscape fades

and silently rests in dormancy

the sweet transition from season to season

is witnessed by passers-by

and only I stand here and wonder

where do the birds in Winter fly

they travel South that much I know

but do some stay behind and why

are they never seen except scant few

the Robin Redbreast and the solemn Magpie

the dried out river bed meanders

soon it will fill when the heavens comply

and fish will soon swim again while the Salamander

nods knowingly from his damp cool quarters nearby

I rest awhile; take in the air before I am on my way

to see the lions; I hear their roars; I know they are close by.

YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND – JAMES TAYLOR

Somewhere under the rainbow

a seagull full of hope

flies low across a violet sky

telling me that I can cope

so many signs we see if only

we care to open our eyes and look

the tender pages of our stories

rest gently between a velvet-covered book

bookmarked by a wish; a dream

on a snow white angel's wing and prayer

we are capable of so many things

if only we be brave and dare

so many times I tumble down

so many times get up

the little precious many things

I find to fill my golden cup

I raise it now and wish you well

blow you a New Year's kiss

ne'er let Auld Lang Syne be e'er forgot

a cup of kindness is full of bliss

if love is a many splendoured thing

and music be the food of love

then I have eaten a banquet here

a feast lain down from Heaven above

and as the New Year begins again

I'll keep you always in my heart

and if sometimes it seems I'm scarce

remember these words of René Descartes

“He lives well who is well hidden”

as I seek the truth of my life in silent ways

with clear mind comes a revelation

that will buoy me up on stormy waves

when grey clouds loom; obscure my vision

I know the moon and sun still shine

and you will know too that I am here

just call my name; send me a sign.

Mazda Roadpacer AP (1975) at the Mazda Classic - Automobil Museum Frey in Augsburg, Germany.

The Roadpacer was Mazda's unique attempt to enter the Japanese market of luxury sedans, rivaling the Toyota Century or Nissan President. The car was not developed by Mazda but an Australian Holden Premier with a Mazda 13B Wankel engine: engineless Holdens were shipped to Japan, where they were fitted with engines and transmissions and recieved luxurious equipment. However, sales were slow and only around 800 units sold, few of which remain today.

This is the nearest visual and audible representation I can produce, with my fairly limited technical know-how, to show how I feel the world and the daily struggle within myself to survive in a world that is both beautiful and at the same time profound; the confusion I feel when I struggle to understand where I fit into the world and if I ever really will.

This cover of a beautiful song, Just When I Needed You Most, I had never heard before when it was suggested to me, by my friend, Dave, who truly understands what it is to be me. Thanks Mate! : 0)

“I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved. I woke up into a nightmare.”

― Ned Vizzini, It's Kind of a Funny Story

LET ME ...

LET ME give you a piece of my mind

meander through my neural pathways

LET ME offer you the peace I find

when the outer turmoil fades away

and I can hear my thoughts aloud

a million things that I must do to

drown out the infernal madding crowd

and let the signs and creative process through

LET my eyes glaze over like ice upon a lake

LET the snows and mists descend

don't come near or I will break

my tears a waterfall, my friend

LET ME stand quietly by the door

gazing through the fugue of time

parallel lines bend; fall to the floor

and suffocate me in this paradigm

this is a typical day for ME

and it continues; invades my dreams and then

the darkness falls like a dying tree

crashing through my world again

some days in a lucid moment I

see clearest after the rain has stopped and

pale yellow sunshine dapples softly as a sigh

while the sweet breeze of change whispers and ...

… gently reaches out to touch my hand.

LET ME be free to be who I am

because that is enough struggle for ME

I cannot be someone stuck in a traffic jam

what does that taste like; it feels like I am all at sea

LET ME taste the sweets of living

without the bitter fruits of despair

Friday's child is loving and giving

if you love me LET ME be there

when I can find the time is right

for ME to be the best I can

time for me is different and flight

or fight reminds me of the Bogeyman

that feeling as a helpless child

wide-eyed and trying to figure so many things out

things beyond me; beyond all reason and filed

under the heading of 'What was that all about!'

I think the best of everyone, you see

though I am in constant doubt

about what on earth is the point of ME

I feel too much; my thoughts are endless

the world and it's problems magnify

and I am left bereft and breathless

knowing there is too much to rectify

so I see a bird and I fly away

I see the sky and cloud-watch and dream

the fog becomes thicker and I run away

caught in the headlights powered only by my own steam

but what if the steam dissipates

and I am left drained and bewildered, like you

I will still see the world as a beautiful place

even when the chaos continues and my head is all askew.

DESERT DREAM – OMAR AKRAM

I am a Bactrian Camel

oh yes, I'll have you know

my weight is borne equally

on my third and fourth toes

I am an even-toed ungulate

or so the story goes

I am far superior to

the one-humped dromedary

I'm from ancient Bactria;

I'm kind and soft and hairy

my fur is like a teddy bear,

but don't cuddle me; be wary!

I am silky soft like my ancestors

who travelled the Silk Road

climbing up high mountains;

cold; carrying their heavy load

or moving across inhospitable deserts;

screeching in camel code

I am feeling very lazy today

relaxing in the rain

it's stopped a little while;

these tourists are such a pain

leaning out their windows

taking my portrait again and again

I am sighing with contentment

as they pass me by

there is no resentment;

I pretend to them I'm shy

showing them the back of me;

well that's as much as I can try

I doze; I dream; I long to be

in the silence of the night

but oh those shrieking jackanapes

now hidden from my sight

I fall asleep at last and wait

for the new dawn to break light.

Since returning home I am experiencing a lot of computer and internet connection problems. It is very frustrating. I comment a few pictures and then have to reboot or constantly refresh the page and then the comment does not always print. I do not know if it is problems with Flickr or my internet or with my computer or a combination of all three, but I do apologise sincerely and will try to catch up as and when I can. Thank you for your patience with me <3

AP 201 makes a set over at the east end of LC Siding.

Well, it's been a bit since I've posted here. Between working on PT post-surgery, doing some work for some clients, and some travel for the 'day job' it's been a little crazy. I took a little time this afternoon with a bit of a different lens (Nikon 50mm f/1.2) to play with some late fall color on a Japanese maple in the back yard. Hope you enjoy it, and I'll be back around soon!

Landing 29th Feb 2020 in perfect afternoon sun

A formation of Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orions flies over RAAF Edinburgh, South Australia.

“The constant struggle of life often overwhelms me. In times such as this I look outside myself to observe the beauty of nature and try to follow it's example, then I look inside myself and question everything … seems always that my path is destined to be a rather lonely one and I thank everyone here for joining me in this part of my journey; for accepting me as I am; for showing me unconditional love and understanding and welcoming me into your hearts. I wish you all a beautiful Autumn.” - AP

“Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.”

AUTUMN EQUINOX – QUIET JOURNEY

Feels like things are winding down

Autumn falls and in my mind

the leaves so colourful spin round and round

I hope the Winter will be as kind

swirling; whirling; leaves are curling

paper thin; rusting on the ground

crunching; munching; brittle; bunching

winds that blow them in heaps abound

listening to the warm winds as Summer

falls asleep and the Autumn Equinox

colours the world in auburn beauty

like the warming colours of a country fox

freckles fade and speckled shade

like blackbirds eggs the pale blue sky

feels the sun in watered down yellow

mellow and sallow as the willow's sigh

billowing clouds like plumes of smoke

rise high above the chimney tops

and little aircraft buzz my house

so close I can see the handsome pilots

I wave and they wave back to me

idyllic is this setting

and peace sets tranquil as the sun

surrounding nature like filigree netting

protecting the dormant flowers that sleep

the trees will soon be skeletal

their bare bones are so beautiful

the pine cones crisp turn grey gunmetal

underfoot the crispiness

of Autumn sounds so nice

I welcome it with open arms

I make the most before the ice

of Winter comes

and Jack Frost paints his masterpieces

complex visions; fascinate

in awe I stare at their uniqueness

the log fire will soon be very busy

keeping warm the hearth

my cats will curl up on the rug

and sleep contented dreams of stars

and far off mice and dickey birds

and other cat-like things that pass

beneath the window they hear the rustle

of the Autumn leaves and endless scuffles

but like me; like little curled up dormice

they fall back to sleep in just a trice

the winds may blow

the sea and tide

the rain may fall

no place to hide

but in my world of pleasantries

it's warm and safe; the best place to be

the ideal place for me.

“I'm your little blue-eyed song bird

ALL I DO IS DREAM OF YOU – STACEY KENT

Your gaze is so intense

you captivate me

you heighten every sense

you motivate me

with you there's no pretence

you satisfy me

your lips; your hair; your eyes

you satiate me

with you there's no disguise

your love placates me

I feel free of earthly ties

you radiate me

you are my latest muse

I feel the strong vibrations

I'm torn; I cannot choose

between the sweet sensations

I'm worn but I can't lose

the sweetness of your strong creation

my canvas once was blank

I've filled with strength and power

I've sculpted you so frank

from gauche so tender as a flower

each scrape each application ranks

as nothing finer than this hour

I don't want this to end

I don't want you to leave

I'll do anything; I'll bend

all you want I will achieve

you are a subtle blend

just like this painting I believe

capture; captivate and hold me

you've cast your spell upon this girl

I will do whatever you told me

if you will stay; let love unfurl

let it blossom like a flowering tree

strong; intended for this world

root me to this fertile ground

make me never want to leave

in you I place the trust I found

and love you; in you I believe

that love still makes the earth turn round

you found the key to undo me and to weave

a wondrous recurring open-ended dream

that flies around my mind and lights my soul

you satisfy my tastebuds like coffee and ice-cream

delectable; delightful; I desire another bowl

and then I'll lick it clean; I am bursting at the seams

all the pent-up past frustrations

simply slip away

replaced by deliciously dark temptations

my inner demons let out to play

for me it is the greatest revelation

our eyes and bodies locked; I feel like clay

now you are the one who sculpts

you mold me; bend me to your will

my heart is doing somersaults

my soul is lost; you are the sweetest pill

the medicine that catapults

me back to living; all is perfect; all is still.

Today … a rare treat for me … I am happy! I am in love … with life!!!!! What is happiness … happiness is fleeting … it may only last for moments at a time, but when it does you will know it, because it is the most amazing feeling and today I make the most of it for tomorrow I know that there may be pain again … and with the pain the darkness may descend and swallow me whole, but just for today I embrace the wonders of the universe and all is very, very good! Oh, the above, just a silly story … a complete and utter figment of my imagination! A girl can dream, can't she … ; 0)))
