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)

Just Somewhere...


Mag 29 ~ Image by Willow

In another life
Dreams swirled with limping laughter
Rooms curled with secrets

Leafy sweet facade
Tall windows stare with sad eyes
Now steps to somewhere

What is it about old homes, shrouded by trees that makes us want to fill them with something of life and fullness? Love what you did, some incredible lines, this one sings,
