“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.”
- from St Francis' Prayer

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
only you can make me fly
yes, I'm your little blue-eyed song bird
only you can make me cry
oh yes, I'm your little blue-eyed song bird
blue without you; blue as a Summer's sky.” - AP

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)))

Great Nebula in Carina
This is a bi-colour image of one of the largest diffuse nebulae in our skies. It is a spectacular object that is about four times as large and even brighter than the famous Orion Nebula. It is one of my favourite objects in the Southern Hemisphere. Near the centre of the image you will see a very bright hypergiant star - Eta Carinae. Its luminosity is about four million times that of the Sun. Within the large bright nebula is a much smaller feature, immediately surrounding Eta Carinae itself. This small nebula is known as the Homunculus Nebula. If you look carefully, you can see that this star is not round. This happened in enormous outburst in 1841.
This was imaged under the great light dome of Melbourne, Australia

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child,
and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to
the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

FLIGHT OF THE BUMBLEBEE – Nikolai Rimsky Korsakov
I don't cut brambles
they are not weeds
I let blow in
all that seeds
the bumble bee
finds all it needs
here in my garden
where no heart bleeds
all are welcome
great and small
with open arms
I greet them all
come rain or shine
the four winds blow
land in my garden
and start to grow
from bumble bee
to humble me
I love all nature
it's part of me
at the heart of me
here by the sea
is a sanctuary
filled by serendipity
it is by chance
and sweet happenstance
like pennies from Heaven
and angel's feathers that dance
I am quite sure
at the foot of the willow
there is a land undiscovered
as soft as a pillow
where the stuff of dreams
and of fairytales
comes alive at night
like a billowing sail
setting forth on journeys
landing who knows where
where happiness is all
life is without a care
so listen carefully
when the sun goes down
and you will hear the murmurings
of a tiny town
little doors creak open
little people come out
and under the full moon
they laugh and shout
sometimes I creep out
in the dead of night
when I cannot sleep
and my pillow fights
and I sit in my garden
beneath that old tree
listening and waiting
to unearth the mystery
of why things go missing
or turn up somewhere strange
do the fairy folk borrow them
in return leave me small change
my mind is open
and so is my heart
wishing for a glimpse of them
a sudden noise makes me start
oh, it's just Mr Fox
scratching himself against a tree
followed by Mr Badger
hurrying happily
my daytime garden is transformed
by different smells, sounds and creatures
at night it is a different world
filled with different kinds of teachers.

“If grief breaks your voice, get out of bed and love life
and soon you will find your voice again;
soon you will sing and dance;
bathe in bright sunshine after rain;
soon you will be free to find
another love that soothes your mind and eases pain
soon you will see butterflies and blue, blue skies
in October; an Indian Summer will jump start your heart again.” - AP

LOVE LIFE – JOHN MAMANN
OF LIFE AND LOVE ...
I've been loving you too long
I look in the mirror and all I see is you
where did I go
at what point did I become you
lost inside our song
so engrossed in you
that I did not see myself disappear
fear strikes to the very heart of me
what if I never find my way back to me
the starting point is here
do not pass GO until it's clear
I hang my head
I hang up the 'phone
I cannot meet my eyes
without them reflecting you alone
deflecting all I can
procrastinating; looking at the fan
spinning; whirring;
sensations stirring
cool air calms me
the ringing clock alarms me
just a dream
or so it seems
some things are real
but what about the way I feel
makes me think I'm still asleep
I open sleep-filled eyes to peep
between long lashes
my heart thrashes
boom-boom
the room
spins upon it's axis
leaves me weakened; on my knees
I gasp
the words I form sound harsh
a rasp
I clear my throat
my mind is fogged
a misty haze
a handsome frog
not now a prince
a princely sum
was paid to hum
a pretty tune
too soon; too soon
it dissipates and spins me with the room
I land on duck down soft as silk
my skin so smooth and white as milk
pale roses flush my cheeks
the heart wants what it wants and so it seeks
to suffocate the mind
to traverse until it finds
the sweetest treasure; love so kind
and fills it's boots
tugs at it's roots
embeds itself in lies and sly half-truths
until it gets the answers that it needs
until it plants the love that let's it feed
and grows the same as any other flower
that nourishes and flourishes despite the showers
and blooms; assumes the moment felt like hours
to live a life within a magic bubble
is pleasant; pleases; contents soul and disallows the rubble
of real life to sink it's teeth and burst it until it is no more
I am content with this;
the imaginary kiss
the dream I would not miss
for all the world, yet now I hear a hiss
the viper that first whispered in Eve's ear
is tempting me with apples laced with fear
yet still I offer up this tasty fruit
for love that has no reason
the falling of the season
the windfalls that meets ground
before the wind's sweet whispered sound
temptation is the carrot dangling from a stick
the donkey does not know that the carrot makes him sick
so he follows it but never gets to eat
the fruit; the love; that real life lets fall within his easy reach
a dream within a dream
oh yes, that old chestnut; that probably hopeless idiotic stream
that drowns out all the common sense
that greens the grass lush over the splintered wooden fence
that tears into our flesh to climb and then in our defence
we say we did not notice the scratches or feel the pain intense
the goal was always just the same
in dream or in reality
to live a splendid life of love
to love; be loved and count the countless stars above
and all is right; the end does justify the means
we sit and gaze at stars; inhale the perfume of our dreams
sweetly scented;
mind demented;
the thing that we call love is sent
to prove our worth and justify what's meant
by life; the journey that we take
is it for others or just for our own sake
love is selfish; love is blind
but how it takes us; bends our minds
unconditional love of course
is the best love that there is
but few achieve or heed it's source
it stems from pure hearts; kind hearts
old souls that can stand the course
and few of us can know the secrets of true love
or what our purpose is;
or the meaning of our lives
but love will punctuate and mark
a series of dots; like Braille felt in the dark
to feel and not to think with conscious mind
to love and not to expect to be repaid in kind
love is …
life is …
fill in the spaces; meaning of the dots
and when you have please tell me what you've got
and I'll compare your notes and mine
see if they match; see if they're fine
perhaps we'll find the answers, but
if not, it matters not, you see
because life is love and love is life
and mankind need not be it's own enemy.
