Awe and Wonder

A favourite place of mine is Fleswick Bay, hidden in the cleft between St Bees North Head and the South Head.  Here you can be quite alone with the raw presence of nature. ( Ignore the flotsam and jetsam at the entrance).  A visit left me feeling the awe and wonder of this wonderful place.

Thank your god for heaven sent

For heaven sent, thank god.

For:

Shimmering leaves hung

Wind-whipped, and

Back-dropped, deep-deep blue;

For:

Breath-drawing

Waves, lapping

Wide-rolling relentlessly, under

Stark stood

Black-backed ancient mountains;

For:

Rock-rolling, foam-boiling

On rust red ribs;

For:

Thermal-riding

Firm form-lined

Wind-wheeling barons free.

For:

Awe-and-wonder stirring the heart

Drawing mind-breath from reality.

Thank your god for heaven sent

For heaven sent, thank your god.
