Breathe your last,
I know you must
But my heart breaks
To carry on,
without you here, how?

To know that you are around the corner,
then around the corner is bare.
Those cold winter nights that you lay beside me
Now only cold winter nights,
without you there.

Your fading now,
your time has come.
I watch and wait and hope that its all illusion.
Not mine to decide so I will wait with you

In a time and a place you could not hurt her

Where the setting sun slain the dragon
And the monsters in the closet found their rest
When the days intoxication made you weiry
After you had put up your last fight for the day

Comet McNaught. Photograph by Diamond Rose, Jan 20th 2007.


Father Sky sprinkled his seed
with the brush of a comet's tail.
The Moon was birthed, and cut its cord,
leaving snow dripping in its wake.
Yet from forests, Mother Earth laments,
breathing rivers of fire.

The Forest of Tranquility is the best surviving rainforest in the Sydney and surrounding region. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (diamondrose(d)) http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3479 Tue, 27 Jun 2006 00:55:03 GMT http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3476/t/St-Mary-s-Picture-of-the-Week-6-25-06-.html

St Mary's, Sydney, is the oldest cathedral in Australia, and, as far as I know, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.

Whatever ghost that was his past
long since dissolved, into forgetful haze.

The last time he looked up
he saw a falling hand
in craving frames, against an empty sky.

But, no one even noticed him
until he hit the ground.
Now no one ever lifts him
except to keep him down.

What is it all to us,
whether or not he lost his faith
in God, and you, and me?
There's our guilt to fluff... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (diamondrose(d)) http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3483 Wed, 07 Jun 2006 04:38:29 GMT http://thegoldenquill.yuku.com/topic/3482/t/Kookaburras-with-added-sound-.html

Their most famous feature is their song, or laugh (which some hate, but I love!). Taken in my backyard.

When Bryoni reached the mountain she began to walk up the slope. Cindy followed and helped Bryoni to keep her balance, as she had to use one of her hands to keep Juan safe. The man was lying over her shoulder. He shrieked in terror as they climbed higher and higher.
They were hundreds of feet up the mountain when they reached the cliff face and could go no further.
