#iamgrateful for my friend
You are the needle to my thread
You are my greatest mystery
You are the voice inside my head
You are the co-author to my story.
You see me where I’m standing
You keep me on my feet
You hear me when I’m whispering
You narrate our lives in tweets
We dance like no ones watching
We sing to the highest note
We laugh until we’re crying
We wrote a book of silly quotes
I’m thankful that I met you
I’m thankful you’re my friend
I’ll never ever forget you
ours is a story, without an end.

#iamgrateful for david bowie
Today’s #iamgrateful is dedicated to David Bowie – the man who put character into his music. Just by forming a poem out of his song titles I feel like I went on an epic journey. There will never be anyone like him on this Earth again. We’ll miss you star man!
Source of Inspiration: A Reality Tour – David Bowie
i’m the rebel
following a different path
just to see the same star
from a new kind of reality
the famous cactus isn’t here
but you’ll see her ‘round midnight
afraid of the snakes
and all the young dudes
away from their wives
the lonely guy stands
behind the mirror, screaming
who sold the world?
I’m on a fantastic voyage
mad man with a blue box
where is that space boy?
Sunday springs
into daylight
under the suns pressure
unveiling Mars
we’ll fight this battle
rise from the ashes
loving an alien
from the corner Motel
it never gets old
the Americans are afraid of change
but they, we can be heroes
listen to the Disco King
before five years
slips away
and we’re hanging onto ourselves
in the dust of the stars
left on the moon.
The angels are gone
and this girl
has this day.

#iamgrateful for transportation
My bell is my melody
as I glide though my city
a cultural legacy
carved into her memory.
Ding Ding Ding, I echo
my driver stands and bellows
‘watch your step, my dear fellow”
as people look up, ‘hello’
I meander through buildings
stopping when the people sing
tinned sardines, more are boarding
my green poles they try to cling.
Taking them from home to work
the managers and their clerk
from Collins to Little Bourke
every 10, just like clockwork.

#iamgrateful to wake up every morning
Twee-twoo-twoo-twee-twoo
the merry morning magpies sing
twee-twoo-twoo-twee-twoo
it’s a beautiful time, to spring
from my cozy blanket nest
I set my eyes on the big blue
the sun knows no rest
as I stagger to find my shoe.
Feel free to share...
#iamgrateful for my iPhone
I have this little universe
It’s a blessing and a curse
My eyes are enchanted all day
‘Please light up my world’, I pray
Any pause in activity
Will bug me for eternity
So my eyes lock in at first light
and rarely strays from my sight
It’s a blessing and a curse
But iPhone, life without you would be worse!

#iamgrateful paradise
Paradise is but a picture
Heaven an idea
Over the rainbow
End somewhere
Never ending stories
Inside the eyes of hope
X marks the spot.
Rejoice in faith
Invite the future
Songs of the southern isle
Evergreens persevere
Sunshine in paradise
Feel free to share...
Happyverse
I colour my picture
with a southern starry sky
eating chocolate sponge
and laughing with friends
an airplane takes off
over roads less travelled
fitting pieces of a puzzle
on a lazy Sunday
along the foreshore
or deep in the forest
or both.
Feel free to share...
Pain
Her heart became crumbly
With words whispered meekly
Her fingers fell weakly
As they shivered, tingly
In her painful reality.
The world has glossed over
Everything is colder
He should have told her
the experience will mould her
As her feeling gets older.
