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)

Palette of blues...

Blue skies paint
Earths in
Whispers of
Blue
Mirrors

Memories
Reflecting in
Blue
Misty
Veils

A still
Treasured
Moment
Drifts into
The yearning beauty of
Blue melancholy

Dreams of
The soul
Set free

To sing...

The blues
Sing...
