A repost for the challenge!


The Gummi

The glory of the mountain gum
Green and blue and red brown hues
How they dance in the setting sun

A place of cold clean crisp still air
Winter snow and blinding summer ray
Just to walk on through will dispel your cares

The pitch-black nights, stars shine so near
A deafening chorus or deathly silent
Wake to frosty morn' so fresh and clear

Straight tall timber, canopies thick and green
Blots out the sun where rivers run
Wilderness, the likes of which man has not seen

The Gummi flows fresh and clean
Frigid waters teaming with life
Meandering through glorious scene

Creatures born there wild and free
Such majestic beauty, so unique and rare
Surely! Must be nature's gift to you and me

EagleOne, if I wasn't already in the bush, your poem would make me want to go back.

You have so effectively expressed your love and respect for what must be a Heavenly place to be. What a lovely, descriptive testimonial. Thank you

Butterfly....You know that you would be most welcomed here. Spread those wings and ride the stars, you'll be here in no time.    The beauty is in the land, I merely try to convey it, Thankyou.  

Claire....There are times when it certainly seems like heaven.   I thank you for your far too kind comment.
