The Australian Sun

One step at a time
Count them or make a rhyme  
Then fix your gaze to the front
And walk to it taking the brunt

Of the exercise in the walk
Breath in and hear magpies squawk
The Australian sun is something to behold
Being in nature never gets at all old.

Lovely and vivid, yes so true. I've been to Sydney and Queensland, and the sunset is really something over there. Great writing.
