Lunar New Moon
Just before first light we rose
the lunar moon
was due
we watched we waited
the hearth of a new day
burst firing the waves
the lunar moon
travelled into its tiger destiny
invisible
not even a whisper
or scintella of light
but one with the air
lunar moon
we search the darkness
on the horizon
light dawn sunrise
for a wild water tiger
i was surprised
by its gentle silent entry
like a dew drop on a rose
or the tear drop of blood
from the pierce of a thorn
60 years for its return
1962 the year I left
the cocoon of school
for the world
2022 is it the year I bow out
and return
to the cocoon of my world
in nature
lunar new year
the morning glory
are full of welcome
association
paperbark and purple
morning glory
Bird walk today
Can you see the two cormorants hanging out by the lake in the photo?
just hanging out
they know we are here
two pied cormorants
and
two cormorants
hanging out by the lake
social distancing
How many kookaburras
makes a coven
waiting for their prey
