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)

Silent Music of Peace


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A headland at Hastings, Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula

Scenic Sunday #89
Carry on Tuesday #46 ~ This week our prompt is the opening of The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andrew Sean Greer, 2004:
We are each the love of someone’s life
~

No sign of movement
No sign of human footprints
No sign of tensions
~
A time to reflect
A time to renew life vows
A time for re-birth
~
In the cold dark lights
Loneliness is hollowness
Fathomless chasms

~
Empowered with fears
Empowered with shapeless sylphs
Spun imaginings
~
But we're reality
Solid possibilities
Solid living gold
~
We are special golds
Each the love of someone's life
Once, now or to be
~
Let the breezes sigh
A soul needs some healing time
Space and dimension
~
Scenic Sunday

I really love the haiku.

I use haiku as a weapon with management.

Old, not too smart, worried about the future and also quite devious...like snakes looking for a warm place be.

Old Grizz likes to snuggle in his cave with family around. I like the way you put it all together.
