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)

Take a little time


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Lovely quiet, light-filled view across Port Phillip Bay from Dromana, Mornington Peninsula

Scenic Sunday meme #21
~

Walk some moments by a sea
Blessed with vibrant light
~

Find a seat
Turned to distant blue horizons
~
Quietly sit down
Letting the shadows fall
Neglected
Unseen
Beneath you
~

Take some moments by the sea
To breathe
Fresh
Open air ~
Let it ripple
Soothingly
Like a diluting balm for
The acids and ferments of
The body and
The mind
~

See Nature's precious jewels
Glittering
On the waves ~
In the sky ~
And feel free
To claim
They are yours
To own
As a memory
Of a time
When you felt
The riches of
Natural
Peace
~

And let a dream whisper in
Your tired soul
~
