Mind games

I took a walk through my mind today
I met some friends along the way.
...

True blue can you stand the load
Will you tie it up with wire
Just to keep the show on the road
(John Williamson)
...

His skin is tanned and wrinkled
His hair has turned to grey.
His shirt and jeans are faded
His shoes seen better days
...

A conversation between death and life

The viewing
...

The yarralumla diamond

On an outback station in Queensland
A diamond as big as your hand was
...

Oh!
it's good to laugh
Lauded sage, anoint
man's foible's
...

Jesper

I gave my grandson, Jesper my old key board,
Cause on music he seemed keen.
...

If you can stand head bowed at Anzac cove
And ask the question why?
Or walk along the Dardanelles
Where our Anzac heroes died
...

Like Bookends
Without books
they lay
aside
...

We came with our daughters, We came with our sons
We carried Our pistols
Our cannons
Our rum
...
