The Millennium Drought #falling #vss365 #coolrain #ourpoetryx #signal #blueskypoetry #bspp54
The Millenium Drought.

Fourteen years,
the continent down under endured, but not without setback.
It was the Millenium Drought.
It was not the first, nor would it be the last.
Changes upon the land

Pastures parched and withered.
Breaking dreams of generations, blown away by the winds.
Lucky ones forged steely resolve.
It was to be their make or breaking.
How much sweeter their fruits.
Reverberations across the nation.

The Murray Darling has a long memory, but this river had no recollection of such.
The lifeblood of the land.
Red gums along the Riparian succumbed, as the Teals and Ibis forbode a sign, canaries in the coalmine.
A precedence was set.

By the end of summer 2009, one Saturday, Black Saturday, fuelled by the record heatwave.
Firestorms ravaged through towns and ranges, thousands of kilometres blackened.
Bereft communities rallied.
We witnessed the best in us through the haze.

It was the very next year,
La Niña's cool cumulus delivered onto us, her distinct signal within the noise.
Falling rain quenched the scorched earth, though not in small measure, but that of record floods.
Changes upon the land.

A scanned photo of Katarapko Creek, taken by my father in 1994. Traditionally inhabited by the Erwirung people. Is an anabranch off the Murray river between Berri and Loxton SA, and is a place of great cultural significance. #landscape #photography

A nice surprise coming across these items today.
A castle door. A sleeping dragon. A forest maiden bird bath. An Indian elephant.

Boy of free spirit
Fossicking shoreline
To what today
A gem
Precious shell
Unexpected thing

But chance upon a thwarted gull
Lethargy of storm and sea
Flabbergasted 
Don’t worry 
Can I help

A yield to a read of trust
Days in care and wellness attend
Fortune and favour 
A look to the sea
Be free my friend
A magnanimous reward

Happy to have compiled a family history. Using family ledgers, 100’s of years of historical records available through Denmark, UK, France. It was a big project but very interesting. Gained a broader sense of identity & hopefully contributed to others. I highly recommend it and though i’d share.

Still no parrot activity to show yet around the previous shot but i’ll stick with it.
There’s actually an island in the background.
