Australian Bush Poetry, Verse & Music

Changes In Life

Well I suppose it's debatable whether this is "Bush Verse" or not. I decided to put it on the site though as it reflects the different lives we lead within the one life that we have. The photos were done as part of a photography assignment I had to do as a self portrait. Whilst I trust that the photos stand on their own, I wrote the verse to express more of my inner feelings about it all. It is published here in the hope that it may help others to understand what they may be going through, or have been through. For those of you that do understand - I thank you, for those of you that don't understand because you haven't been through anything like this - well I sincerely hope you never do!

	The pace of life can move so fast You think you're in control But the only difference between a rut and a grave Is really the depth of the hole
The slave you've become to a material world Is broken, unfocussed, unwell You're stripped of everything you had and were Leaving a shattered empty shell
	But in solitude you'll find yourself Seek to know the you within Pursue the things you love the most And build your life again
