Sparkling white sunlight
on wavelets in the cove, cooled
by early spring sea.
~
Air warms in sunlit patches
sheltered from the salty breeze, coloured
by the first flowers of spring.
~
The colourful warm,
intoxicating flood of
summer on the way.

Big Triku ‘The River’
Gradual hidden
mass scouring rocks – strong sunlight
flashing over black.
~
The world gently bends around
the silent water, my energy
draining down to the darkness.
~
Delicate branching
fractals crossing land, pouring
softly to the sea.
~~

Big Triku ‘My Challenge’
Towering mountains
reach too high to see. Standing
before them – just me.
~
Yet sunlight cuts the mist and
I see others standing near. My doubts
disperse, my path is now clear.
~
We shall climb as one.
And we shall not turn nor stop
until it is done.
The Bee
(A poem from childhood)
A mile from land, a mile at sea, with gently heaving sails,
a yacht sailed on with water trickling underneath the hull,
the water’s glare’s so strong it’s stronger than the sun at sea,
and in that lonely moment, suddenly, was it a gull?
Some wondering thing, a fragment from another world, a bee!
A mile from land, a mile at sea, sky streaming white mares’ tails,
a solemn, melancholy bee that followed unknown trails.
