Australia: Amidst The Rocks Under Poem by Mimie Durand

Pondering Australia’s magnificence
With blue skies and sunset’s cloak
Ocean waves thunder
Amidst the rocks down under.

Australia's indigenous people
Aborigines perform their dance
Survived harsh desert conditions
As well as life’s circumstance.

Billibongs soothe worn feet
Walkabouts have taken toll
Dreamtime memories of nature
Engulf the native's soul.

Australia's sunshine state
With its great barrier reef
Pristine white beaches
Surfers ride waves in disbelief.

Barramundi in Australia’s water
Valued for its flavor
Australia’s western territory
Warm waters they do savor.

Departing Australia’s wonders
Its blue skies and sunset’s cloak
Memories of its ocean waves thunder
Amidst the rocks down under.
