Follow the sun

Sunset from
Mt Wombat, Victoria.
Said she I’ll follow the sun
and when the following is done
I will have my release

Said he I’ll wait for you
and when the waiting is done
together we’ll find peace

She followed the sun
and followed the sun
never finding the end of her quest

He watched the horizon
every day of the week
every evening again dispossessed

The sun never shirked
its purpose lighting the day
rising and setting as it should

This man and this woman
staked their futures on the sun
but it’s purpose they never understood

Wombolano

Wombolano walking track
A dreamy filter diffuses the sun
path, walking and sun all become one
the foliage the light the green and the gold
wombolano morning a sight to behold

Photography days #12.

Sun

The sun is a furnace around which we orbit. It sits in space 152 million kilometres away, providing just enough heat to keep our planet and its inhabitants alive. Every time I recognise this fact I have the same response – what are the chances? WOW!

Tales of calm and beauty #1

 
Beauty is in the moment
Sitting by a window
Sun streaming in
From directly across the way
Low in the pale blue winter sky
But strong enough to warm the room
Through tall floor to ceiling glass
Strong black lines
The shadows of the woodwork
Stretch long, deep and straight
Across shiny slate
Framing the scene
Defining the space
Giving shape to enveloping comfort
Warming the calm
Enclosing peacefulness
As I now heavy lidded
Look out on gold rimmed trees
Vivid green grass
Foraging birds
And hear the cascading water of the creek
Beauty is in this moment
