“A Touch of Paradise” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sunrise in tropical Mission Beach, far north Queensland, Australia. “Flamingos walk, and sway in peace / Seeing this, it makes my troubles cease / The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar / That stretches right across the sky / Thats all weve seen so far / And all I do is look into your eyes / For that special touch of paradise / Just a touch, a touch of paradise / Just a special touch of paradise / You hold my hand, thats when we kiss / And it doesnt take long no, until I get the gist / Of this love that stretches out across the land / Where rainbows flash, as were walking in the sand / And all I do is look into your eyes / A touch of spring, and autumn sweet / Well the trees vibrate when our eyes meet / And I think of all the love that we have been making / You touch my hand and I walk off shaking / And all I do is look into your eyes.” / ~Ross Wilson and G Smith

“Shimmer” Photography & Artwork / by Holly Kempe © Sunrise at tropical Mission Beach in far north Queensland, Australia. The Australian Sunrise / “The Morning Star paled slowly, the Cross hung / low to the sea, / And down the shadowy reaches the tide came / swirling free, / The lustrous purple blackness of the soft / Australian night, / Waned in the grey awakening that heralded / the light; / Still in the dying darkness, still in the forest dim, / The pearly dew of the dawning clung to each / giant limb, / Till the sun came up from ocean, red with the / cold sea mist, / And smote on the limestone ridges, and the / shining tree-tops kissed; / Then the fiery Scorpion vanished, the magpie’s / note was heard, And the wind in the sheoak / wavered and the honeysuckles stirred; / The airy golden vapour rose from the river breast, / The kingfisher came darting out of his / crannied nest, / And the bullrushes and reed-beds put off their / sallow grey / And burnt with cloudy crimson at the dawning / of the day.” / ~James Lister Cuthbertson
