Poem:
TO ABERDEEN BEACH - A WATERCOLOUR BY MIKE DANIELS
   
  What is it in a beach?
The sands?
All those remembrances
of walking them barefoot
with a walking stick
made out from a piece of cane
thrown out by the sea,
leaving behind
ephemerous footsteps
as volatile as all lifesteps are,
bending to pick seashells
or a stranded piece of driftwood
that might have been,
in other times,
a solid hull that sailed
the world around,
to end up here,
with traces of red paint
in your trembling hands;
a fair girl,
carrying a wild flower in her hair?
The sea?
On peaceful days
a mirror for the sky
with screeching gulls
gliding upside down
or fighting in the air
with cormorants
for a shuddering fish
just fished out;
standing on the tideline
one can see
boats sailing in and out,
ships's shadows
barely breaking the horizon line;
On raging days,
sitting on the dunes
under a rubber cloak
impervious to both dampness
and ill thoughts,
to admire the foam,
far from the reach
of the stormy water claws,
dark rolling thunderous waves,
crowned with whitecaps
following the wind,
the under currents
and the motion of the Earth
in a complex dance,
only comparable to that
of Wordsworth's head-tossing daffodils...
To me, a beach means love.

MY MOMENT
   
Author: Lora Chee
   
Poem: MY MOMENT
   

My moment, you thought, when you sat in front of
me teaching me the ways of life
My moment, you thought, when I ask you about the birds and the bees

My moment, you thought, when you lectured the boy that followed me home
My Moment, you thought, when we come to visit you on Mother's Day, bringing our own bundle of joys, letting you hold each and every one of them, telling them that it will be their moment some day

Then, one day, it was so very different, we all stood in line with my brothers and sisters
waiting to have our last moment with you in
peace, and to say good bye to you.
How we will all miss you, and we all will
cherish our moments together.

We Love You Mom


Lora Chee
