I walk past this inspiring artwork many times every day in UNSW Australia, Sydney. I rarely stop to take in the colours, images, shadows or think about its meaning. This in itself is a lesson for me; my mind often is elsewhere rather than here and now. I appreciate the artist, David Cheah’s words and images and can draw comparisons with my own journey.

Time snatched.

Bandstand, Petersham Park, Sydney, Australia. It was built to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII, King of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas and Emporer of India.
Restored in 1993, the building consists of a timber and iron structure on a sandstone platform with a slate roof.
On Saturday, 20 September 1902, in the presence of 10,000 spectators, the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Harry Rawson, officially opened this bandstand.

Rusted barrel still safely locked,
Marker on way or where we‘ve been.
Trusted path, a familiar scene.
Starker truth, bike’s long since been hocked.

The autumn chill creeps
Slowly into shadows
And evenings come earlier.
Bright daytime stars
Remind me of what was
And is to come.

There is nothing subtle about the Australian native. I took this picture while walking in Leichhardt Park, Sydney, Australia.
