Maybe

I am anxious.
I think it might be happening.
I am not too sure.
I could be very wrong.
I still hope that i am right.
I don't think it's time yet though
I can certainly hope it is.
I was lucky before.
I might be very lucky again.
I am anxious.

To a friend

“…you will see that you never really had, in the way that you thought, that person or item you were mourning. And you will see that you will always have them in other ways.”

winter morning

As i walk out the door,
i feel the morning breeze after a rainy night,
reminds me of the winter morning in Tasmania,
i can almost remember,
the smell of Darwin,
how did we all forget the simplest thing?

Phenomenal Woman

"Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me. "
