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)

Grapes of Evening


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Evening skies at Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
~
3WW prompt #100 ~ bored + habit + settle

Bring me a sunset wine ~
Parched, bored lips
Long for the grapes of
Evening

Bring me an evening palette ~
Desert eyes long
To settle in
The oasis of
Dusk

Bring me wings
To fly
Freely in
The sanctuary ~
The habit of
Sleep

And deliver me ~
Safe in
A new day

Such mournful greys skies over your world, hang tight, spring is at your door.

When I show you my winter...you will be happy with yours...

You have a beautiful soul Gemma.

one of my favorite colors is purply-pinky-mauve, as in the sky you posted in your first photo- pastel shades of sky really do it for me
