Zion from Angel’s Landing
Sometimes
The scale and beauty of nature
Takes my breath away
And my words
The scale and beauty of nature
Takes my breath away
And my words
I need just one of these
So I let it be breath
Return from Angel’s Landing
Coming down from Angel’s Landing, I had no words, only peace and reverence.
Black Sand Basin
The earth heaves up boiling water and steam, and from these mist coalesces, drifts with the light wind. We walk out over the simmering pools lined with vibrantly coloured minerals and flecked with obsidian, giving the basin its name. Vapour rises all around us. Every now and again, a burst of trapped air escapes, jetting sprays of searingly hot water well above our heads, and fortunately well away from the viewing platform built right over the bubbling land.
MacDonnell Range Station
It rested there
Nestled in the valley
Watched over by ghost gums
Fortified by mountains

A small outpost
In a large land
A cattle station
In the Red Centre
There is a certain beauty to rust
A pretty thing
A lifetime of utility
Goes to ground
Embraced by nature
Becomes prettier
Still
A lifetime of utility
Goes to ground
Embraced by nature
Becomes prettier

Revealing transitions

Lost to time and memory
Into paint and the past
Revealing transitions
And the names of those
Lost to time and memory
Beauty expressed for a different mind
Some cannot see the beauty
In a burned-out forest
So I find it for her
