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)

No more time

Pic collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ including Simply Snickers prompt pic Christina by Andrew Wyeth (c.1948)+ my own pics of landscapes from Main Ridge, Mornington Peninsula
~
Simply Snickers prompt ~ wait + wonder
~
There is no more time
No more yearning time
No more time to wait for
Your gate to open
To welcome me
Home
~
I see the colours of your world
Ebbing and flowing
One gate yawns wide
But sadly
Not for me
~
There is no more time for
Your gate to open
To give me a home
~
You wonder
Perhaps
Who I am
Who I am to you
~
But reality claims
You have no more time
To be
Who you should be
~

Your world is not so different from mine...always a welcome sight an open gate, perhaps to wonder in.
