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)

Jaded Time

3WW prompt CVII ~ delicate + jaded + night

After a work day
Night becomes the jaded time
Delicate lighting

Softening pillows
Magnetic kind erasures
Cooling heated treads

So many people took 3WW words and wrote poetry. You've said a lot in so few words. Nicely done.

When I was still working outside the home, my night time was this sudden sanctuary that I relished with jaded enthusiasum, but now that I work at home, each chaotic moment is filled with the longing to do it all before I die...experiencing all the magic in one single days moments...filled with the art of my longing, not one single second is wasted in folly...I feel fulfilled, yet with winters looming dread still in the back of my mind...my art triumphs over the dread. Yet night time is still this temple of peace, that upon it's arrival, I relish the calm.

Blessings friend,
