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)

Yellow Eyes in the Night


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My little pottery house on my verandah table looks quite cute at night when candle lit!

Roughly shaped small house
Like a strange face in the night
Eyes pierce the shadows

A Special Candle


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ An unusual tea candle holder (a special gift from my dear husband) sitting by day in my kitchen window.
Even in day light, it casts a lovely variety of shadow shapes dependent on the strength and angle of the sunlight.

Soft candle burning
Shadow of the brighter light
Gentle connections

Touch of Candlelight


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ My last lit candle before I move today. I used the candle holder for a hasty Chrissy decoration display and the candle is embedded in stones. In the background is the upstairs misty, rainy street view on Saturday afternoon.

Candlelight of warmth
Steady glow in scattered mists
Candlelight of hope

Signs of Candlelight

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Magic Candle Light
~
Weekend Wordsmith prompt ~ It's a sign
~

Flickering candlelight ~
In a room of dark shapes and shadows ~
Is a sign of
Comforting warmth
The embrace of peace
The sign of calm
In the eye of storms
~
Sometimes
A parade of candles
Burning in
A quiet
Sacred space
Are signs of
Memory
Willing the past
To live on
~
But a candle
Burning
Lonely in
A dark window of night
Is a sign of
Silent
Desperate
Aching
Prayer ~
Willing a loved traveller
A safe return
Home
~
