we need rain

This lovely poem is the work of Miriam Louisa and can be found on her blog along with many other equally beautiful pieces

echoes from emptiness

 

Echoes from Emptiness: Jacarandas, Kiels Mountain, Queensland

 

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
