In Silence

Jenni Elmes

Low murmur on the breeze.

Warm greetings from the sun. Vapour whispers in raindrops. A birdsong. A croak from a frog. Wildness ancient yearnings. Ancestral breath of presence. Spiderweb to nature timeline. Our nucleus belonging. We are of the natural world. Soon with Covid 19 restrictions lifted between South Australia and Victoria I will be a permanent resident of Colac. Excited to be coming home to the place of my birth and childhood. Loving memories of Colac Botanic Gardens. With bush and sea not far away.
