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)

Cameo of a soul mate

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Cameo of a soul mate

Sunday Scribblings prompt #119 ~ My oldest friend
~

I saw you before I saw you ~
I was young
A dreamer ~
I saw a special soul ~
A tall
Kindly faced
Special soul
Drifting the seas
~
I heard you before I heard you ~
I was just a little older ~
But I heard your music
From distant mountains
Like a magical pan flute
Gathering
Lives and life
Around you
~
I felt your pain before I felt your pain ~
I was much older ~
But I felt
You +
We
Were in the wrong time
In the wrong place
~
I knew you before I knew you ~
Finally
You drifted here
Across the seas
Creating the right time
The right place
~
I loved you before I loved you
My oldest friend
