Visit to the Sounds
by Sr Margaret Anne
Love of the Strangers,
clear musical notes.
No words uttered
yet the message is heard
‘Te Manawa – the place of the heart.’
Grace filled
Our hosts, Terry and Joy
Treat us guests…
[Philip, Jo, Annette, Margaret and Rae]
with nothing spared
Time, Space, Peace;
unexpected Surprises.
Our Souls find us
and Nature Heals.
Breakfast so Royal
Greek yoghurt and Honey
Apple juice golden.
Remember the nuts.
Morning tea – Muffins
“Oh look!
The calories are
jumping for Joy.”
Lunch so Tasty,
Simple yet special
Cook onions long,
they liquefy
become sweet.
Pizza Supreme
and Soft spinach Quiche.
Dinner set finely
Condiments relish,
Horseradish fresh,
Red wine -
Sun sets.
Visit to Titirangi
A beautiful Bay
Waters so sparkling
Etched with soft golden sand.
On board Mrs Wishy Washy
Secure and Safe
The Spirit of The Sounds
entered our beings
enlivened our senses –
Sea spray, warm sun
Cool wind, pork bones
WOW
Before gentle sleep
A walk beneath stars,
Sky light so sharp
I can easily see Mars.
Eyes playing tricks
No
Glow worms on show
Hidden so carefully
among needles of pine.
To sleep in a large bed
Just for one
On no
To be shared with Pango,
one of three house hold cats.
Now with new reverence
we pray with our grace –
“Thanks be to God
for all he has done,
and is doing for us.”
