I find poetry a natural way of expressing what my soul sees and feels. My soul time is predawn. In the predawn silence everything is full of possibility and truth. There is a certain state of grace that lingers at this time. The air is clear and the stars glisten until the light rises and creates an atmosphere with a different vibration that for me entices and embodies the feeling of freedom and creativity.
For the last 19 years, no matter where I have been in the world, I have found predawn is my time to write. I have always found a contained space, usually in a cafe that allows me the freedom of time to let my subconscious rhythms flow. For many years I lived in Sydney, where Hernandez was the place for this morning ritual. Sometimes as early as 4am I would walk, then sit and write - a poem; streams of consciousness; my film script; or any other ideas and be in my world of creative imaginings.
In the next two pages I share a selection of my poems with you. My wish is that they touch some mysterious chord in you as they have in me.
