the hunt coolness fills the air shadows streak across the land the fox begins to stir |
Jesus Sky shortly after dawn, clouds blotting out the sky - streaming shafts of light |
Great Barrier Reef warm summer breeze, the moon begins its last phase - coral start to spawn |
dusk the red sky above, the winding purple river, the black earth below |
wind gray clouds streaking by, blue waves launching green/white spray - the birds do not fly |
winter the ground is frozen, midnight snow is drifting down , cold air stings my lungs |
