Through the Red Sands
Jul 9, 2021
A poem dedicated to the underrated beauty of the Australian landscape;
The land welcomed; embraced
their touch
The red earth whispering her name
Calling out to her
The family torn and disassembled
Brought together once more
In this one embrace
As they travelled the stretched-out plains
The landscapes ever changing
A frightening yet beautiful mirror
to their ever-changing hearts
A hidden truth was made clear
A reality discovered
Refusing its fate
The land fought fiercely
protecting its territory
Miles from water and moisture
The driest of airs
under the harsh Australian sun
Fighting and surviving
It flourished and thrived
As a spark of green in the red
A symbol of hope
In a place of no life
It created life.
