BeautyScope 453: Calling for rest


feeling restless
I wander my devices
scrolling app after app
calling for rest
but all the world
is ignoring me
so I keep scrolling
even louder
but no one hears
...
maybe I'm in the wrong place?

BeautyScope 452: Stories on the wind


the car tyres whistling
on the road above
blend seamlessly
into she-oaks calling
stroking and caressing each other
telling their stories on the wind
the wheels yell and race
dashing about
then segue into a plane droning on
down near me the river laughs
and bulrushes snigger
with their rough rustle
then suddenly a warning note
from a bird sweeping by
...
I went for a walk
met no-one there
but everything spoke to me
