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)

Minefield of Realities

Writer's Island prompt #3 ~ Breaking Through

We walk in a minefield of realities
Wondering what reality is ours
~
Where the eyes meet the glories of Nature
There is the meaning of Life
~
Where dialogue meets hungry ears
There is a vision for the future
~
Where the heart meets the dawn of a new day
There will the spirit be also
