The bay is a quivering shelter
An arcing lassoo of comfort
~
Arthurs Seat is a sentinel
A towering lighthouse in swirling mists
~
The Rip is like a jagged tear
Luring sailors to the Isle of Light

Dromana Pier

Once the busy hub of lime burning
And the pier was the heart of shipping
~
Once laden with pastoral runs
And orchards colouring the nearby mountain
~
Dromana wandered into new worlds
Offering leisure and light by the sea
Gaudy bathing boxes lined the shores
And campers dreamed under summer stars
~
Today Dromana is an escape
From Melbourne peak hours and pressures
Many stroll or run by the shoreline
Some sit on the pier and go fishing

Old days and old ways locked in boat walls
Permanent light on old lifetimes
~
Even if the tracks are just etchings
At least they lead to some memory

Walking sparks the creative spirit
Seawinds is a world above worlds
Garden sanctuary by the sea

Solitude is a silver morning
Crisp with the chill of the sea

Sand sludge slows the plodding beach dreamer
Silence is a brooding sunrise

Nightlights play the inner music ~
Haunting strings seeping from the mountains
Hushed by the lapping of tides

Martha Cove is the magic of waters by night lights
Like glittering secret jewels
Enjoying the glory of dark waving velvets

Kookaburra Songlines

I live in kookaburra songlines
Verandah rails ring with laughter
As dawn whispers from shadowlands
Sometimes a telepathic moment
Connects the secrets of our souls

Beginnings are always fragile moments

Balnarring Beach on the Mornington Peninsula Victoria
is a place to reach out to wider worlds;
to feel refreshed.
The sands by the sea are like the songlines
running between now and forever
Waves ripple a melody line
And the spirit sings in the salty winds
