Australia Day...fluff, ceremony and peace...

This morning, Australia Day, I watched the WugulOra Morning Ceremony held at Barangaroo, NSW. SBS aired the ceremony. For me, the highlight was when First Nations people invited the audience to dance, with them as a guide: not one dance, but many. The audience joined. United.🙏🙏 https://t.co/2KoQsTU1Kr pic.twitter.com/7tDgtBvS7t

After all the noise and fluff of #AustraliaDay ceremonies, screened on SBS...a breathing space was screened...no words...just quiet music backing a camera roving over Australia's beautiful landscapes... and historical notes on the area screened to the side... Well done #SBS...

he walked across my dreams again...

He walked across
my dreams again
Impossible to ignore

Embraced by
heartsong serenade
we danced soul to soul
in dreamscape colours
of night & love

As I awoke
his shadow whispered
“Til next time”
He left me with
a lingering kiss
& a midnight rose#vss365 #reevesroses #BrknShards pic.twitter.com/b0hJsHHIuf

morning winds

to dance#haiku #micropoetry
