If I Had A Voice

 

A Suite Of Songs That Will Remain Unheard

if i had a voice

i would sing outside the shower
i would lullaby my memories
i would soak up the power,
and i would speak my mind.
but i don’t
so instead i made a choice
that if i had a voice
was never one to be heard
something inside me purred
“at least it may be read”
because maybe i’d save some savaged soul instead
of bleeding them out on the drying ground
where my deceptions and brutality were found
maybe i can give them a voice
maybe they wouldn’t make that choice
so if i had a voice
id read you everything i came to realise
from dreams to memories,
reality to disguise,
and the inability
to tell one from the other.

Transit

 

Poems

You were born on a highly fragile world.

This collection of poems is not suitable for those under twenty, without support.

Our present culture does not require novels or short stories as entertainment, but at all levels, serious reflection before action.

About the Author

 

Klaus Kuziow was born in Germany in 1941. He came to Australia in 1950, experiencing a period of almost boundless freedom in Port Stephens, NSW. He served in the RAN as an electronics technician from 1959 to 1966.

A period of working within Sydney University introduced him to the visual arts. In the years 1974 to 1990 he assisted in the planning and production of major fine art exhibitions with the Australia Council. These travelled the world as part of our cultural outreach.

For the last 25 years he has entertained himself with the successful operation of a furniture restoration and upholstery business.

He has the joy of two adult children, Veronica and James, who pursue the values and commitments upon which the human race is attempting to build a civilisation.

Hopefully Flawed

 

A Celebration of Motherhood

Motherhood was not my lifelong dream.

By early adulthood, Sara had it all worked out. Highly committed to her medical career, she intended on pursuing brain surgery as her specialty. Utterly content as a single girl, she wondered if she was called to celibacy.

One husband and four living children later, she found herself working as a rural generalist. Her best laid plans had clearly gone awry.

Would her medical background prove a help or hindrance with parenting prowess? Harbouring a tendency towards anxiety, how would she face the overwhelming list of things now wildly out of her control? How would this social introvert navigate the relentless demands of her adorable dependants? And as a relapsing perfectionist, would she be crushed by the weight of her own expectations with excelling at this 24/7 job?

Hopefully Flawed weaves cathartic poetry with retrospective prose to celebrate a true story about answering the call to motherhood, and the freedom of finding meaning in the mess.

Flaws are inevitable. Hope is possible.

About the Author

 

Country convert Sara Georg is a part-time doctor, full-time mother, and undeniably lucky wife. She endures the hardship of beachside living in rural South Australia with her husband Matty and their three youngest children.

She holds a deep appreciation for meaningful conversation, a quiet addiction to the thrill of turning off her phone, and suffers emotional allergies to high heels, half-rhymes, and hurry. When she isn’t listening to patient stories, Sara can be found indulging in Asian breakfasts, messy catch-ups, and singing in the kitchen about Jesus, Disney, and Broadway.

A poet and writer since childhood, Sara figured it was time to make something of it before entering her fifth decade. Despite B-grade brush skills, she loves to paint with words. Hopefully Flawed is her first public exhibition—and you are warmly invited.

Down Under

 

Poems from the Australian Bush

The author’s reflections of early life experiences growing up on an isolated sheep and cattle station known as Muloorina, which lies adjacent to Lake Eyre and the Tirari Desert, all stories conveyed in verse as Bush Poetry.

A companion to Campfire Memories and Happy Campfires.

About the Author

 

It is with heartfelt pride that I present my third offering of Bush Verse, Down Under for your appreciation.

Topics are many and varied, mostly based on life experiences of topical conversation around numerous Campfires, crisscrossing the desert, touching on history, weather events and characters met along the way.

I have a deep respect for this part of the world, (The Lake Eyre Basin) that I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy for just a blink in time, and am now grateful to share my backyard, to my many readers and followers, expressing my thoughts on a life well lived, narrated in rhyme.

For those of you who wish to experience Australia’s greatest inland lake system, I encourage you to immerse yourselves in this timeless landscape to appreciate the aura that consumes your senses from this natural world of wonder!

I penned Ancient Scapes for your appreciation of my feelings, captured within the heart of the Lake, that I’ve been lucky enough to experience.

Thank You For My Life

When everything is gelid and dark, be in the present, follow the faint sounds in the distance of joy like laughter. Lean into the stillness. For there you shall find peace. For there you shall be grateful. Thank You For My Life.
