Big Fish (25 July 2012)

The sun has set on another winter's day
The sky is darkening into a deeper grey
Clouds are floating high above us
In the never-ending atmosphere
The sun came out; all sparkling
For a little; during the day
Now; all is settling down
In the country and the town
Lights are shining; all display
People going home from work and play!
I'm waiting for our pizzas
Outside of Eagle Boys
Thinking of all the stresses!
Thinking of all the joys!
Dear Debbie; rest in peace
Dear Claire; please be strong
I'm sorry for your loss, love
I know she's gone too soon!
Alec's gone to Queensland
To be with Hugh; his son!
Grandma's in the hospital; just up the road!
She's better now; Thank you Lord
For lifting my load!
Two flags are flapping; gently in the breeze
River birds are calling; flying to their nests
God's dear creatures: in their feathered vests!
A giant fish; out of water
Upon a tilted building's side
Huge mouth agape; gulping up the tide!
River Murray; ever flowing onward
Into the darkest night
What a magnificent display
As she bends out of sight!
