Stepping out into clear golden morning

Elusive nature purges jet-lagged dreams

She’s waiting: naked, open-faced and smiling

She leads down pebbled paths with dancing steps

 .

Tossing barley hair in invitation

She waves her trees and twitters in their leaves

Murmuring in summer flavoured whispers

She tells a tale that swells my heart to tears

 .

In majesty and miniature she charms me

Sweet flowers deck her honey scented limbs

In endless views she shows me all her treasures

Her all embracing being, home again
