Playground Contemplation
An excerpt….
Most days in silence she slips within
to question if past acts of child abuse
can ever leave one unscathed
in a world that loves make believe
and punishes children telling tales.
In the jungle gym of her mind,
she yearns for that hour of liberation.

Pen Point Survival
She dreamt of living solely by her words
For words are her wings, as flying is for birds
To rise, writing down, all she needed said
Inky waves pressed on paper, styled to be read

Gauna & Inaki: Time & Meaning
An excerpt….
As the spirits of Past, Present and Future, they had grown to exist in harmony with one another.  They had learnt that the true nature and power of love is transformative.  As siblings it would now be their shared knowledge, their collective Pacific consciousness, working gently with the slow awakening of humankind that would eventually lead all people to strive for a heaven on earth for all.  Back in the warm embrace of his beloved Gauna, Inaki rested in her existence while he told of the challenges being carried to their region by the winds of change.  Nearby, Past Present and  
               Future respectfully listened.
