A beautiful day of goodbye with my friend. ✨

Sun sits low behind a green landscape of trees and soft hills. To the right a big tree stretches leaf covered branches.

5 Jan 2022. Whilst out on a tiki tour heading up to Pakiri/Goat’s Island, of course we had to stop at a roadside stand to check out the wares on offer. The owner had a sprawling plot with all sorts of garages and barns. In front of one of the structures was a jumbling flower garden of orange and red calla lilies. Larger trees, shrubs, and grasses are in the background.

Just off centre to the left, in front of a teal metal wall of a garage, a rusted old tractor may have been retired and “put out to pasture” in this flower bed, but it’s still serving purpose! To wit:

- It’s a place for a chicken to catch some rays as they laze about on the tractor’s bonnet.
- It takes its part in a whimsical art exhibit of sorts and hangs out with other metal sculptures (to include its metal cat friend hanging out atop a chain-link structure just to the tractor’s right).
- It also makes for yet another joyful and colourful discovery on an impromptu mini road trip.

All important stuff, I reckon!

As I compose this alt-text, I was inspired to pen a humble monoku:

The curtain stayed open long enough, so we could get a glimpse at this life's #passion play - is it a tragedy, is it a comedy? We will find out later, when the plot unfolds, before the final curtain call. #vss365

For todays #vss365 #nurture, here is my poem "The Gardener", published two years ago in SixPenceSociety (Does it still exist?)

The gardener

from Field Notes – for Robert Kroetsch

Although his name is not Harding,
my father is a proper sort of gardener.
It’s his fault that I like tomatoes, broccoli,
cale (Grünkohl, as we say in German)
strawberries, plums, and apples.
I asked him: How do you grow a poet?
He smiled at me whimsically
(verschmitzt, as we say in German).
It’s very simple, he said,
you take a seedling, put it
on a good basis, make it feel
welcome, water it with
love and nurture it with
songs and stories, give it
the space it needs. At least, that’s
what we did with you.
(Alles richtig gemacht, as we say in German)

Sometimes I use old photos as bookmarks. I came across this one in my copy of World’s End by T.C. Boyle. 🥰 My younger brother captured this shot of me when I was a teenager. On the back of the photo he wrote, “Just a free-spirit with a wild, kind heart! I love you! Bubba” #OldieButGoodie #B&WPhoto

17 Feb 2024. A visit to Ocean Beach in Kāwhia. It’s just after 8pm, and the sunset is stunningly uproarious as it paints the sky with buckets of colour. The black sand beach is a deep umber, and proof of earlier various recreational vehicles can be found in rows of tracks left behind. The Tasman is a deep blue. The wispy clouds are fantastic in their tones – peach, dark grey, off-white. The sun itself is half-sunk into a liquid horizon of dreams, and a mini reflection of orange can be seen in the shallows near the shore. From the larger orb, two arms reach and diagonally divide the frame from lower left to upper right. The smaller sphere tries to follow suit, managing one outstretched arm in solidarity. In the distance of the harbour on the left are rolling hills, dark and full of secrets.

I followed the crickets' song and found my youth in the middle of an abandoned field off county road 9. It was right where I'd left it— under the old oak tree, next to the old book. I picked it up, dusted it off and skipped back to the car.
