Life Blossoms

a new life blossoms
in Terra Australis
energising my soul
under the
rising sun
i tweet
the glories
of your essence
like this
rainbow lorikeet
of the
realm
tasting
the mystery
of life
in the
luminous
landscape of dreams

i reimagine the antipodes
through a sense
of rhythm and wonder
i feed
the living god
of
everything
in my orbit of survival
as the soul
rises from the ashes
under
the cosmic belt of Venus
holding
up
the sky
in the
first light of dawn
