Josephine Collett Biography

Woman

Walking
in the searing sunlight
...

Magpie, mudlark, currawong
Wake her with their garrulous warbling song
As sunlight through the branches illuminates the dawn,
They boldly sing their joyful praise to greet another morn.
...

There is something happening to
the apple tree
The wintered grey branches
are changed beneath my fingers,
...

Will you come to me, unbidden
through the vast unreached chasms of my mind
when the world has forsaken and forgotten
all that I aspired to, a world rejecting and unkind
...

This is where you will come to meet with Me.
I am everywhere, but if you come
I will be waiting to meet you here.
