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)

Low Tide Beauty


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A scene at low tide at Rosebud beach, Mornington Peninsula

Scenic Sunday #85
One Single Impression #105 ~ Running

Like eyes in waiting
Waiting for fresh impulses
Latent energy
~
Dreaming of running
Running with the water winds
Challenging high tides

This brings to mind the rush of joy and exhilaration I felt when my sisters and I tried to outrun the waves.

I am ready for the cold and snow to be gone. I long for warm days at the sea shore and the sounds of waves coming in.

I like the thought of running before the high tides. I can't run anymore, I wore my knees out.

Thank you for this nice rendition for my OSI prompt, 'running.'

Your poem makes me think of summer at the beach. And running with the tides will be slow and leisurely.
