Penned friend to sober alliance,
blessed,
blissed,
I write with my crazy artist friends.
Homily to prudence,
still laughing,
statued in brilliance,
stoic
in stanza,
I pen freedom.
Laugh at ludicrous
cacophony
caught in harmony with
unending chaos.
Heart’s resilience captures freedom,
for the found,
lost – for the longing.
Unending utterance
causes
cadence
cascade,
in opulence of light’s brilliance.
Far, far from featureless form,
far from all desire
yet closer to truth’s blessing,
I write for my crazy artist friends.

I'm a Chaplain at Townsville's hospitals and also teach Calm Abiding Meditation to any one who's interested.
I have facilitated Calm Abiding Meditation for soldiers with post traumatic stress disorder and find this an amazing experience.
I work part time as an usher at Townsville's Civic Theatre and get to see some great plays and musicals, as well as some not so great, school speech nights!
(Unbelievably, this theatre has the highest seat occupancy rate of any theatre in Australia.)
I also work as an invigilator at the local Uni. (bet that's got you looking for your dictionaries!)
A group of writers ('My Crazy Artist Friends') gives me live fed back on my poems.
They are the survivors of Writers in Townsville Society (WITS) of which I was president /secretary for over ten years.
I enjoy writing poetry and am grateful to my grade 12 English teacher, Mrs Grimmer for coaxing the dead poets off the page and into the class room.
Hope you enjoy reading my work.
Stay happy, keep reading,
Phil Heang.
