The Weight of Light 2025 exhibition of recent paintings at Red Gallery Fitzroy Mebourne
THE WEIGHT OF LIGHT 25/2/25
The weight and light of a weary world rest.
The light in a tight woven nest among leafy breezes,
The weight dark and deeply rooted in hot dry soil.
The light dreams of flowers and summer dawns over island horizons.
The weight dreams of sweaty fortunes of forged gold.
The light lingers and kisses the cheeks of sweet young faces.
The weight delves furrows and yearns impatiently for other places.
Between the scales, just standing in the balance point,
Our world waits, and between breaths and blinks,
Wonders at the way of it,
the weight and light of it.
That fleeting place where balance is found
A vast harmonic echo with infinity
the place where shadow meets light.

My Brothers are Giants
They are Giants , my beloved brothers
Standing strong against their fate
Each story tried and tested in relentless weathers
Such ceaseless searching for the sun
My Giant Brothers stand persistent ,
patient , higher than mountains
They carry their ancestry in time towards the light
On steep slopes in wild winds
through crack and whip of storms
There they remain
with all their towering strength and might
Their power of good
Awesome breathing beings
Force and fuse , driven towards their plight.
