Heidegger referred to poiesis as a “bringing-forth”, or physis as emergence. Examples of poiesis are the blooming of the blossom, the coming-out of a butterfly from a cocoon, and the plummeting of a waterfall when the snow begins to melt; the last two analogies underline Heidegger’s example of a threshold occasion, a moment of ecstasis when something moves away from its standing as one thing to become another.

Poems, poems, poems have been multiplying in the folder. They are being dusted off and presented now. They are written from life either happened or imagined. Some may have a different writer.
Autumn Trees at The Gallery
Group of Seven you
Are in heaven
Perhaps
One I know so
Young yielded to the
Undertow of row boat
Evil unexpected
Artists painting blue
Remote unyielding
Wilderness of north
This image scarlet orange
And olive trees brown
Deciduous
Never seen by
Most of us
Calm grey
Green waters yellow sky
Serene beauty
Unseen but
By aboriginals
We glimpse
The painters’
Gifts to us
Our country
Guarded rewarded tall
Speaks to us
In it’s colourful
Silence we clap
Alone together.
