minute broken pieces of glass and gold
no consoling embrace and warm arms to hold
alchemy at it’s finest, rejected in purifying the soul
for love has ceased while the fire burns the coal
Whilst the rain started pouring in torrents, in torns
the clouds covered the sun and the wind commenced the storm
in the deepest deep, you’d only hear a sorrowful moan
in solitude, there I live trying to be strong..
to envy the ocean in serenity and calmness
to jewel the samaritan in acts of goodness
there lies the horrible at the mountain’s crest
so as to relive the tenacity of turmoil at it’s best
I cried aloud where no one can hear;
my spirit whimpers inside without any trace of tears
recollecting the happiest moments of fruitful years...
the day I was yours.. so far yet so near..

Behold the pioneering spiritualist, living on the edge
Of the civilizations harshest grid, seeking tranquilities
Harmony beyond the brick lined streets of stress and
Strife of the big city life!
These individualist of true grits foundation, whom live
Life to the fullest extent, tasting the winds of freedom
With every breaths inhalation and exhaling joy of
Revelation in this venue of isolation, known as
Alaska the last frontier!
In clarity’s ice kingdom of the forbidden land, does
Not alone wolf cry echoing, in the timbers breaking dawn
Of twilight's final hour, here endurance's vitality is set to fight and survive this call of the wild struggle!
Within the forest wilderness man and women,
Climb the heights vast divides of the untamable,
To achieve a simpler existence, of our forefathers
Harvesting the ancient theology, of the pioneering
Spirit!
Time reflecting architects thriving on the thrill
To endure, savoring the concurring desire to challenge
Against the obstacles seemingly impassible, living
Off the land and being grateful just for the promise
Of this opportunity to live freely, as men were meant
Too!

Australia is wild and fascinating
when one rides across a river
with water galloping on rocks...
like those adventurous cowboys
exploring the last frontier.
Brown and white horses
mounted by haggard men are extremely cautious...
fearing alligators and crocodiles that usually
straddle on rivers banks,
or hide into shallow waters.
They continue their long journey
behind the rainforest and rugged peaks
cloaked with delicate wax flowers...
what they'll find will astonish their senses:
revering the beautiful land given to them.
