Against a seamless sky of blue
Untrammelled
sand, footstep or two
Their gaze
caught in the deep beyond
Side-by-side in
caring bond
Isabella, in
pink tones still clad
Stands by
Thomas, quite the lad!
As both, spellbound,
in contemplation
Absorb the wonders
of creation …
No hordes of tourists
in the way;
Its haunting
quiet - a giveaway…
In sapphire sea
beyond the strand,
Do they seek
Van Diemen’s Land*?
Australia’s
vast expanse inspires:
Such isolation, such bushfires,
Yet a sparkling
jewel in Southern seas
Clothed in eucalyptus
trees …
In this precious
moment caught in time
What do they
think, these loves of mine?
Their vigil on this
beach surreal,
Is magical, my
senses reel …
