New morning

Fresh

Washed clean

Air filled

With the sound of

Seagulls and

Civilisation

Beetling away

Bright sunshine

Crowns the scene

 

I can see

Clouds brooding over

The heads of

Botany Bay

Gateway to the

Tasman Sea

And more

 

The timelessness of

Sand

Sea and

Sky

Yet another time

One that connects to me

Reels me in.

A monument to the First Fleet

Is on the foreshore

Showing

William Douglas and

Mary Groves

My ancestors

 

The gift of this scene?

The many facets of

Connection

Which is another way

Of describing

God
