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)

Hushed Drought

Nothing is a space
Feelings and futures erased
Hushed drought on blank slate

Sense of nothingness
Dark freeway tunnel
Desperate for light

Maybe this is why I get clostraphobic in tight places...the sense of nothingness...cold and dark without end...permanent never-ending doom, desperate for release.

Although, 'the light at the end of the tunnel' gives hope.

How long is the tunnel. This is a good example of getting to the end and the beauty that awaits. :) Drop by mine, I think you'll be surprised with what I came up with. :)
