This lovely poem is the work of Miriam Louisa and can be found on her blog along with many other equally beautiful pieces
a violet shower cascades
from the tops of the jacarandas
the kookaburras are shaking the canopy,
breakfasting with glee
what can you say about a giggling tree
a smiling cloudless cerulean sky
and a bunch of birds
with beaks-full of cackle?
just this:
emptiness is fulsome and fabulous
and shaking with laughter
while we, on our tinder-dry mountain
sniff the whiff of early bushfires
and wish it would wet itself soon
