VANTAGE POINT

If you want to Watch Skies, well, watch here!

No matter if cloudy or clear.

Just sit here with your lunch

And gaze as you munch

At the vistas we know will appear.

*

The hills seem to fashion a frieze

With their richness of eucalypt trees

And gulls will fly by

In the changeable sky

Going seaward on some passing breeze.

*

Though grassland and trees are so dear

And birdsong delights every ear,

The sky fascinates us,

It charms and elates us.

If you want to Watch Skies, well, watch here!

MADONNA BLUE


Stained glass windows in a wall,
Inconspicuous and small,
Blue surround and decoration
With a mood of adoration.
As a choir we sang that day
And, when we were on our way,
I saw these little windows gleam,
With their strong Madonna theme.
I thought how comforting was blue;
Such a very soothing hue.
The elderly could sit and gaze
And think sweet thoughts of earlier days.
While shafts of sunshine pierced the air
And brought some gladness to them there.
An old-age home, quite sad, it's true
But softened with Madonna Blue.
