Dream Time Poetry

‘tis a country girl that knows to be
in complete and utter harmony

with the wild that calls within, within,
in the dead of lonely nights
but she wakes to find the sun up high
on the crying fields.

The crying fields spread far and wide

where love’s a stable entity
to tell of many grandiose things
and the beauty of it all.
But the shore possessed of seashells, grit,
and discarded human garbage
