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)

Curved Wisdom

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Bedhead
~
Sunday Scribblings prompt ~ Curve or curves
~
Some curves lead nowhere ~
Cyclical seasons
~
Some curves are rainbow links ~
Bridges
From somewhere to
Somewhere else
~
Some curves circle
And meet ~
Like a cathedral spire
Prayerfully leading to
A heaven
~
And some curves
Spiral
In waves of
Eternity
~
