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)

Where have all the voices gone?


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Roads and signs round the Mornington Peninsula
~
Weekend Wordsmith prompt ~ Searching
Where have all the signposts gone
Long time
Fading
Where have all the sign posts gone
Long time ago
Where have all the signposts gone
Gone to Stonehenge every one
When can we ever see
When will we ever see
~
Where have all the voices gone
Long time
Echoing
Where have all the voices gone
Long time ago
Where have all the voices gone
Gone to graveyards every one
When will we ever hear
When will we ever hear
~
Where has all the sunlight gone
Long time
Cooling
Where has all the sunlight gone
Long time ago
Where has all the sunlight gone
Gone to Edens never won
When will we ever learn
When will we ever learn
