I’d adorn my every blank wall
With sunsets from all over the world

Thank you, Then you honour me with a feature

The scenery was captivating
The sun warm, the sky clear
the birds and bees were singing
there was a freshness in the air

We’re off to the farm again
It’s summer holiday time
It may be dry
The droughts got a hold

He turns and looks longingly out to sea
The menacing wind rocks and buffets his soul

Her hearts skips a beat
But not missing a word

Tuesday morning dawns
The sun peaks over the hills
Clouds litter the brightening sky
Like left overs from the night time party

Birds start their chatter and twittering
Passing news from …
