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)

The fog is lifting...


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ The last whispers of winter fog

One Single Impression #82 ~ Fog

Within the whispers of
Opaque
Winter fog
I am writing
The next fortune cookie
~
Within
My fog
I am feeling
Blind
But dream of
Seeing

Beautiful. I like the idea of writing my own fortune cookie. A way out of the fog.

When one writes their own fortune cookies then I do believe they can also see their dreams come true.

I have felt that way for so long that I can barely remember writing poetry before. But it does lift. Thank goodness!

Hi Gemma, I do like the last, 'Blind but dream of seeing.' Partly because I expect to be there some day within the next 10-15 years.
Every male ancestor that I knew of in the surname line became blind, Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa, and the uncles too. A few aunts were blind also.

Now for the first idea, every time I get a fortune cookie I compose my own to read to the rest of the diners. Of course it will always be flattering to me.

A lovely thought - to write a fortune cookie, and to dream of seeing. Beautiful.
