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)

Tai Chi of the Morning

Scenic Sunday prompt #3
~

Sunday morning is
Tai Chi time
Letting
Tangles and
Traffic of
A recent week
Wait in some outer room
While the soul
Journeys to a mountain
High above the sea
To dream on
High
Purling
Magical
Passing clouds and
Below
Glistening
Rippling
Soft waters of
Nature's winter morning
~

I long for summer to be at your shores, so I can revel in your musing, but alas, that would mean suffering in the throws of the midwestern winters here in the states...so patiently I wait...but time is moving swiftly...aye. I hope my posts don't turn to sad reflections of summer past, but maybe watching yours bloom, will lift the spirit. (I get this way in August,summer wains)
