salt & sand

salt & sand

Salt tangled hair-

damp bathers cling against skin.

The seat-belts metal tongue leaves a scalding imprint.

Grains of sand dabble throughout the car.

Bare feet scatter across sun drenched asphalt.

Fish and chips linger within the ocean breeze.

Seagulls beg and pine for a chip or two.

Ice-cream seeps along sunburnt arms.

Sun shies away upon the horizon.

Such a day comes to an end-

as the waves calm towards the night.

All over yonder

All over yonder

Eucalyptus and dirt.

Aromatic notes of the Australian bush.

Lemon myrtle-

teases the nostrils-

a mysterious scent-

hidden-

amongst-

fallen foliage.

The daily hymn of birdsong-

Echoes-

caressesing all over yonder.

Burnt orange sunsets-

cloak over skies.

Koalas gawk towards tree tops-

challenging there foe.

Lyrebirds gaggle their lying tune.

Wind rustles through the gum leaves

Mothers Natures song-

sings on.
