Maharg67 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Walking Alone in a Smashed City (Darwin after Cyclone Tracey, 1975) Walked down the middle of a street that once was familiar with bustling folks and moving vehicles But now it was empty but for me Silent but for me and the noise of distant moving traffic This place that I had known for many years since early childhoodand where friends had lived This street that once held many normal houses where people lived That now held ruined buildings where some had died It shocked It was more alien because it was familiar It saddened It taught me that nothing is permanentand that nothing is to be taken for grantedand that it is best to live day by daythough that is a lesson that I have had to learn again.

Maharg67 Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) Went home one day? Went home one day But home was no longer home Met old friends one day But old friends were no longer friends Beloved pets long in the grave Old landmarks transformed Family were strangers now And one was just a sad reflection of old deep feelings Went away again And never returned!

Maharg67 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Why even a cat may look at an Emperor! But for all that the cat may still go hungry! The taste of honey dripped from her lipsas I kissed it awaywith a passionate eagerness. The night sky was half full of bright shining moon. Even the noise from the freeway was romantic.
