This Land With wide open spaces and clear blue skies, you can't help but love this land of dust and flies. The colour of a desert sunrise a joy to behold, reveal to all who see it life's secrets never told. The smell of the ocean as it laps against the sand helps us see more clearly the mortality of man. There's more to this country than mere visual appeal. The essence of its beauty is in what you feel. |

Dee, this is lovely and I felt the essence of the land through your poem. 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."- |

Dee, wonderful scene. I still have not have not got any offers from anyone willing to buy me a ticket to Australia. LOL loved the poem. Sit down and bargain "Until your tongues are dry If the havoc and the shame continue We'll drown you in our putrefaction" Primo Levi |

Brian I'd buy you a ticket if you were prepared to travel in a coffin in the baggage compartment, after all I have to smuggle in my heroin somehow. *laughs*. Not serious I hope you realise. Nope you'll just have to practise flapping your wings. still a great poem Dee.

Brian, the best I can do is offer a place to stay when you get here. How's your swimming? Thanks for reading my latest offering. Dee |

The essence of its beauty is in what you feel. I think that line says everything that needs to be said. Great work! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Hi Dee, I love every word of this one.  I do someday in the not too distant future plan to visit there. I've always loved Australia. Any hotels where you live? Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |
