Poetry
The Whale Symphony
We welcome the great ocean travellers as they visit our coastal sands
It is a glorious sight to witness as we receive them with open hands
As they frolic in our waters, sharing with all a breathtaking display
It is a yearly celebration as these gentle giants enjoy warmer waters and play
The beautiful, gentle giants of the sea sing their magical tune
A symphony of divine songs that soothes each mother’s restless womb
Each new day is memorable for all who visit our shore
Patiently with anticipation as they look out over the glistening dance floor
And in that split second from the depths of the ocean blue
A gentle giant of the sea breaches and pirouettes in celebration; such a dramatic view
As each day emerges, we witness the arrival the birth of a beautiful creation
In soft embrace, the mothers guide their young into the dawn of a new generation
For each of our hearts enlightened, touched with such significant bliss
These special days will be remembered when we sit back and reminisce
Until we meet again, gentle giants, when you will revel in our waters once more
Yet, for now, we will hold tight in our hearts those magical memories in perfect awe

Care Not for Perfection
The mackerel sky shares its pattern with that of the ocean floor
As the waves sweep over the sand, leaving patterns galore
The ripples are unique and care not for perfection
A lesson for our minds when we experience rejection
For all is not lost; it is not permanent. You will see
You will rise again that Phoenix all would agree
With each new day, your strength will be your saviour
You will not give in, nor will you accept this behaviour
As you are that woman who has fought many a raging storm
You have reached within and allowed yourself to transform
Your resilience is forged from the battle scars of your story
As the feats you have faced and won are played all in their glory
Like that of the mackerel sky and the ocean floor, that does not care for perfection
You embrace your unique wisdom and move forward with each new resurrection

Ripples of Purpose
A magical vision was to see her glowing hue
To peacefully honour her radiant view
The crisp breeze brushed through her hair
A moment alone in stillness shared
As her mist is a delicately relaxed pleasure
Adorned drops from her glistening treasure
Her fingers roll softly into the shore
A feeling of tranquillity never felt before
To listen to her heavenly heart in synchrony
It is a sound from an angelic symphony
An elegant touch that heals the broken
A solace and comfort without words spoken
Her mirrored reflection ripples the surface
Transformed with a new sense of purpose
Kelly Amanda Lee
Dusk Captures Dawn
The sun fades timidly with one last goodbye
As the evening star begins her dance in the sky
The crimson canvas is met with birds of flight
As they make their last trek before the night
Our mother moon ascends a resplendent glow
A blessing is cast to all she will bestow
The stars immerse a picturesque scene
A silk backdrop of ebony sateen
As the howling wind catches the ancient trees
Leaving them swaying effortlessly with ease
The magical fireflies illuminate to and fro
As they dance the dance of the flamingo
Listen to the crickets chirp with delight
As the frogs croak to the stroke of midnight
All that is left now is to say good night
Until the new day greets us at first light
Kelly Amanda Lee
Morning Heaven
As the morning creeps in through the sky
A new day unfolds as she catches one’s eye
With a fresh, clean slate, she waits to embrace
As her friendly friend, the sun rises into place
A choir of glorious songs sends out a welcomed tune
As each note flows to a melancholic croon
The pink-coloured sky is joined with a shade of pale blue
As the heavens above share a magnificent view
We are allowed to prosper and bloom
Leaving us with a warm scent of everlasting perfume

The Eye of the Beholder
She may not be perfect as perfect can be
Her body is curved; all can see
To gaze upon her as she stands so tall
Noticing each curve, bump and thorn
Her roots are aged but held strong with conviction
She has continued living her life regardless of affliction
Her leaves are like fingertips that cradle her young
As a tiny bud appears blessed by the sun
Each morning, the dew delicately falls, cleansing her veins
As she begins to ascend and releases her reins
A heavenly scent elegantly floats in the caressing breeze
As her aroma gifts us all a wonderous heartsease
Her petals are all different and connected as one
What a beautiful creation of distinction she has become
So, as you can see, she may not be perfect as perfect can be
But in the eye of the beholder, she is perfect for me
