Element of Magic in the Aussie Outback

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
As the wind blows through the gum leaves,
The ants creep leaf to leaf through lower bushes,
Grandmother sun bears down making the ground 
Too hot to walk upon and yet late afternoon there’s near not a sound…

For even the birdlife retreats in the summer,
Seeking treetops cooler or some other water source,
As the heat of an outback summers day can be unbearable,
And ’tis abundantly worse before rain finds its course!

And yet there's an element of magic in the Aussie Outback,
One wont find similar to any place else,
Though hard to define ’tis nothing short of enchanting,
Guaranteed to make you question if you’re even standing!

For when the breeze wisps the bushland into an oceanic chorus,
And the red sand beneath ones feet ’tis hot as red coals,
The wildlife looks hugable though it’s often dangerous,
As one’s mind blunders things into different roles…

Plants are delicate in design and robust and sturdy,
Whilst the colourful birdlife fill the air with song,
If one’s to close their eyes and just feel and listen,
’Tis nothing short of magic imagining where each element may belong…

Tìoraidh 2023!

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai 
Tìoraidh 2023! We’re glad to see you end!
Though I am sure you’ve had some positive moments somewhere,
More than your allocated mayhem did you send,
You’ve blown people apart in more ways than can be counted,
And rippled disasters globally like dominoes upon a slimy bend.

I know I’m not the only one that prays in their way for 2024,
For all the pain and mayhem you, 2023 have contained,
To swiftly find their way with you out the door,
Though reality brings the fact that January 1st is just but a day,
It does however bring a glimmer of possibility… of hope… that sweeter times may grace the floor.

And so we welcome forth 2024’s blank slate,
Hoping Mercury’s retrograde mayhem be just the first thing to turn right,
And that there be so many more things you shift towards green pastures gate,
Showing lives around this exhausted planet towards reprieve,
Before that which we’ve been enduring takes its toll making you too late. 

‘Fore most of us can’t take much more,
Of what we’ve been served in this past few years,
Despite our evolution, our growth, our enlightenment to what we can do galore,
We are still human thus have limits to what we can actually survive,
Before we can no longer spread our wings to soar! 

Thus please just bring forth 2024’s lineup already!
Though may it please be a year to bring the past few into balance, 
Bringing prosperity and peace with a harmonious beat and a lighthearted melody,
A whole year inspiring worldwide bliss, love and gratitude towards the lives we live,
With a positive abundant flow for all to be equally heavy and steady. 

🙂 HAVE A REJUVENATING NEW YEAR OF BLESSINGS EVERYONE!!

’Tis the Festive Season!

Posted on by Tracey L. Bhattarai

Pudding, turkey, ham and pie,

’tis the festive season that is nigh,

Tinsel, garland and candy canes,

Join light strings in window panes,

Shopping centres hum with sound,

As great gifts are trying to be found.

***

Santa Clauses in displays are placed,

As a glittering festive atmosphere is faced,

Catchy music now constantly playing,

Whilst some family and friends all come staying,

Christmas trees are up and decorated,

For some, hiding may be contemplated.

***

As Christmas magic fills the air,

It’s spirit creeping in most everywhere,

Songs, laughter, smiling children’s faces,

Mistletoe hung around near fireplaces,

Festive decorations are near and far,

There’s even reindeer antlers on the car.

***

Holiday festivities fast on the rise,

Makes some give stressed or joyous cries,

Feasts, games, decor and lights,

Siblings caught up in holiday fights,

Summer sun or white winter snow,

Festive parties and barbecues are go,

Outdoor activities are all a rage,

Creating holiday fun for any age!
