The wanderlust has touched my heart My feet are urged to move, to walk Wonderous sights these eyes are meant to see In the silence of the outback No others tracks are written here No others voice to mar the quiet Just my mind and thoughts run free Under the Australian sky No worries here as I do roam No others fate but mine A journey not just of miles But of my heart as well I walk I walk beneath the moon The dingoes song my walking tune To rest beside the billabong And laugh with the kookaburra Ancient art a gift unexpected As I see the ones who came before And walk the path their feet did tred And sleep under the same stars I walk I walk to distant dreams I walk I walk to seek myself What do you think I find? |

Paula, I think you've found the true spirit of Australia in this poem. I think you've shown the true spirit of a poet in this imagery. I hope you've found the true spirit of peace on this Walkabout. It breathed magic, and I'm so very proud to read it. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Paula....You did good, real good. This is excellent! You write as though you have been there and had the experience, that feeling you get is so wonderful yet so hard to explain. You have certainly explained it well here. Great work! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |
