Cat Mittinger
Cat Mittinger

Born in east Belfast 1959 where all good pastie suppers originate, Cat currently lives south west of Vienna, Austria, in the lesser mountains of the alps. Poetry and children's stories are her passion along with a chronic case of the photography bug. Over the years she's had small pieces published and last year was one of the contributing writers on a project for the American women's association.

Sandcastles by Cat Mittinger
All my life
seems
very much like
A littered coastline of sandcastles by the sea.

Each day dawns
to build my world upon
In the virginity of another morning breeze.

My towers designed to sight wisdom鈥檚 jewels on the journey鈥檚 horizon.

My tunnels deep, embracing the flow of eternity,
I desire what freedom can do for me.

I labour in love and I
Endeavour to create beauty
from emptiness spent
from fullness I鈥檝e felt

Orange silken ribbons waft across a celestial turquoise ocean,
shadow鈥檚 fingers tease and probe
as her majesty our lady sun retires.

And,
with the coming of the stars,
my empire dissolves
in the passing of the velvet hours

What can we do other than this,
give birth to the transient
To dream and recreate our bliss,
our infinite ambient.
