midsummer east coast country chill morning daze lifting as windless rains gravity descends.
“In Morning Mist Lifting” – our adventures begin.
defying gravity’s strength. terrestrial turning. our chosen bush track blocked by rushing water’s mighty force.
a country train arrives at its destination
you and me sit with local coffee on a veranda cafe
midsummer east coast country chill
morning daze lifting
as windless rains gravity descends
regeneration of native bush
surrender in fire
fourteen months back
now with subdued rain
these advantages in a wilderness begin
we find our chosen bush track blocked by rushing water’s mighty force
destiny in discovery
finds us here an unused old path
listening searching with cheerful discussions
wondrous native indigenous flora sprouting
swaying shimmering with vivid magic energy new growth colors
human eyes inspire
digital age clicking in capture
cameras shots infinity
purple delicate gum branch
reaching in spaces of fire’s
wild abandon past
miniature ecosystems flooded
trapped in sculptured sandstone
holding anticipation’s yield
engender fauna
local glorious nurtured kinetic visions
seek my delight!
look here my friend
with imagined binocular vision
I whisper with child-like memory
entranced with first discovery again
terrestrial turning
now aquatic
this school of tadpoles
i say i hope i know
the eastern common froglet the clicking froglet the day frog
all titles of the same
my and now our collected journey
joyfully observe this miracle of life
multiple weak
week old tadpoles swimming
swirling surviving in
sandstone billabongs
of beginnings in being
unused path
snack bend left
beautiful bluestrum
flickering forest grasses
tall as you higher then me
of thin lime green copper yellow
shoots shine in colors of
amber burnt sienna
in snake bend sunlit golden patch
encompassed protected via
circle of burnt black flacking bark trunks
these trees alive
so high with eucalyptus scent
of carefully carved gumtree leaves
dancing with morning due droplets
forged path ahead
into panoramic cliff
ancient living history
vision of majestic story
banksia blackened
burnt seed pods
explode with
fluttering need
rapid germination
in ash rich topsoil
reuse
repurpose
recycle
regrow
listen is stillness
of wilderness sounds
song birds
creatures
reveal their journeys
as dissipating mist
defies gravity’s strength
sunshine shinning on silver
in dabbled dancing unfolds
these visions unhidden
In morning mist lifting
