the golden
wattle dances
in the warm
glow
of the
autumn sun
feeding my
longing
in the
light-filled gallery of wonder
you change
the inner rhythm
of life in
so many ways
gradually
stripping off
the fragile
armour of reality
as COVID-19
strikes
with a
vengeance
bringing
hearts and minds
into sharp
focus
i watch as
autumn weaves its magic
framed by
passion
the fallen
leaf rises again
the glory
pea sings the day
capturing
the autumn vibes
and opening the
door to the future
as autumn
casts its golden snare
meanwhile, the
bee and the butterfly
fight for the
lustful flowers of the realm
savouring
the little drops of nectar
in the shade
of eucalypts:
the naked
thrust of ambition laid bare
in the glare
of antipodean dawn
finally, the
wandering autumn
shines its
golden
light on the
lonely tree of Findon
changing its
appearance
and its
texture
its colour
and shape
and
everything that is to come
in this
world of sweetness and light
