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)

When shadows hunger
When the winds of fortune ease

When life is scratched with a pen knife
When earthly visions rust

When the spirit sours in loneliness
When clouds ponder low

When light limps

A walk in the colours of Autumn
Means
A walk in harp strings
Nature's
Sacred golds

* HAIKU Postscript
Gold is of the Earth
Treasured anthem for the soul
Endless bank account

what did Thomas Mann write?

"Which of us is not forever a stranger and alone?"

Answer : {From a song lyric} Those of who learn to love and be loved in returned.

I was struck by the beauty of the Autumn tree in the photograph taken on Red Hill.

My thoughts on the price of love and my love for Autumn can be seen on http://rolandyeomans.blogspot.com/2010/03/ghost-ship-in-night.html

Thank you for the effort you put into creating beauty and sowing seeds for reflection, Roland

It's in a tree that we find what we don't look for and hear what we don't speak in order to touch why we are here. Mine be here
