What is this fathomless and
surging Ocean?
Can you hear it
in the flooding rivers and creeks?
Brisbane is upturned.
Can you see it
in the tears of hiding children
in tunnels of Ukraine?
A child sings her nation and
everyone knows her name
for a moment.
Can you touch its life vein
when tears are thickened
from all that threatens life?
Surging trouble, deeper, harsher,
cutting into skin and bone
removing every comfort of home
every wall, door, window
streetscapes scarred.
Where is this feeling
that just nearby are
loved ones ?
Sending them letter like prayers
framed by the eternal postman
can I wish
reach
partake
take deep breaths ...
Pause
behold ...
astonishment
Feel
bounty rush closer
glorious...
