But this is not the time,
but still you call.
You know this is not the time
inclement times persist
but still you call.
What is your caper?
Insanity in your whisper.
I want to go to you
like a sailor to his lover.
Can we reach an understanding?
I will visit when the sun is full above
the mid line of earth,
on its upward course.
Will you leave me alone now?
At the appointed time
I will rush to your arms,
heart pounding,
besotted at the sight of your canopy
freshly tinted in lush green,
light headed from your perfume of
musty, moulding leaves.
But just for now,
will you leave me alone?

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.
