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)

Fragrant Time


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ On the edge of time
~

3WW Prompt XCVIII ~ million + time + unnoticed
~

Time WAS when some fragrant idea
Dissolved
~
Time IS when a million breaths
Slip by
Unnoticed
~
Time WILL BE the mystery of
Some fragrant idea
Trapped in
A million breaths
Silenced

I like the past, present, and future and how you combined the fragrant idea with the breaths in the future. Lovely!
