Perspective

I can’t make myself
write about fear
or worry
by your hospital bed

Every breath we take
is a gift
a gift that is second by second

You are breathing
and fighting to stay alive
And isn’t that something
to celebrate
even just for this second

Happy Place

Sea Life Sydney Aquarium

This is my happy place
watching you
go about your day
nonchalantly

My eyes are filled
with your graceful presence
My heart is full
of today’s gift

Coming Soon

My submission of ‘The Great Escape’ has been accepted for publication in the upcoming anthology ‘Wounds I Healed’.

I thank Gabriela Marie Milton (Short Prose) and Ingrid Wilson (Experiments in Fiction) who have given me the opportunity to share my work. I am eternally grateful.
