Hi, I'm Elle. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand. I'm the mother of two young adults, the wife of an entrepreneurial gamer and the Queen of Unfinished Projects. This blog will contain poems, short stories, possibly photos and book reviews if you're lucky, and my thoughts on a variety of topics. Hope you enjoy it.

To be swept up in a roaring deluge,
tossed on a dark tumultuous current. To be
flung 'round bends without mercy, without
care, without sentience. To be torn from
familiarity and composure, grasping for a
handhold, an anchor, a breath, a moment of
clarity. To be dragged under into vicious muffled
violence. To be lost. To be gone.

My withered feet beat sound from cold pavement,
the wind smiles and collects lost leaves,
so beautiful in the dawning sunrise.
Soon she comes, smiling
at a memory, a touch,
someone over the street...
Every wait ends in the morning,
and she alone seems to understand.
