AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Breath of Storm


Pics by Gemma Wiseman ~ Storms brewing over Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula

Totally Optional Prompts ~ Storms and Hurricanes

Just before a storm breaks
There is always
A sense of
Hushed
Held
Breath
~
It is like waiting for the next
Stage of
Life
Tangling
Wrestling with
Death
~
There is an awed sense of
Unreason ~
Ominous
Unknown
~
Will we breathe in
Or out?
