Golden Wattle Stories, Dreams, and Poems

We're ancient helpers of humans  Yes Jobs we've had  Now we wander and survive  I see them out my window every day  A flock on the powerline  The many small puffs of grey  We love to just hang out together  In the sunshine  Admiring the view  And visit the pet cockatiels out the back  Collecting some crumbs  And finding another good spot  To hang out  Many don't find us beautiful  But beauty's in the eye of the beholder  And to a pigeon  Another pigeon is the most beautiful creature  Yes we find love with one another  When some of us pair up  And the human has seen us  Kissing eachother with our beaks  And singing our cooing song  We love being free and surviving together as a flock  Finding food and water flying together  Then coming back as one  The roof is also a good place to hang out  Up so high  Sometimes we see the human outside  And we look ...

As I get out of the car  I see a magpie above me on a branch  Another sweet friend  I've made again  The park is before us  A path leading into a small forest of tall trees  While down the road in the distance  The mountains can be seen  And the great forest surrounding the pine River  We start our walk  Stepping around a fallen old tree  Since the cyclone  Likes of this we often see  Walking along  We feel so small compared to the trees  And I hear birds  Butcher birds and other birds  Singing in their nature home  With their friends they know they're not alone  The colours of nature  Green and Brown  Surround us now  There's so many different types of trees here  We walk eventually slowly uphill  And through trees and trees  Suddenly I spot  High up in a grand eucalyptus tree  A koala, huddled up sleeping in the tree fork  So excited we take photo...

Little peewee bird in the front yard  Little peewee bird foraging in the grass  Little peewee birds with family so close  Little peewee bird sees me and knows  I am her friend but please keep your distance  Little peewee bird is just so small and fragile  Little peewee bird up on the powerline  Little peewee bird wings out calls and says  I'm the king of the castle though I'm small  But look at me this is my home and I know  I'm beautiful and shiny in black and white feathers  A little face and little beak  I'm a part of nature and I'm free  Please look up to me and respect me  I'm proud when I trumpet my song  Be my friend, watch my adventures, come along 

Bright and sparkling  Deep and blue  The ocean always  Calls to you  Sea turtles jellyfish  Dolphins too  In the water  They play and swim  To and fro  Fish by the thousands  Manta rays  Choppy waves and sunlight sparkles  It's enchantment for days  Down deep there's coral  And huge old ship wrecks  The water splashes  It's all salty and wet  You've never seen it all yet  Out at sea it's just seawater  By the shore there's sand  And seashells and driftwood  You can find and hold in your hand  The seagulls are calling  High in the sky  They look for fish  They spy with their eye  You may see islands  You may sea boats  The ocean may be blue  Or turquoise the most  Grey and rainy  On a cold winter's day  Or blue and sparkling in summer  Everyone's favourite  The ocean we love  In one way or another

Today I woke up to kingfisher calls and Kingston the kingfisher on the powerline out my window watching me wake up!!!! So lovely!!! I haven't got a good picture yet of him because he is so small but here is a couple blurry photos I got. 

As you drive along Eaton's Crossing road  Towards Samford  Beautiful views open up to you  Of the mountains  And soon enough  You see a small township on flat grounds to the left  Between the mountains  Of a number of rural homes  Eventually you turn left  Onto Mount Samson Road  And pass by more beautiful views  Of a landscape surrounded by mountains  The landscape is so green  You pass the sports fields  Then some huge farm paddocks with lazy contented cows  Then some quaint little country houses  And the quaint little old church  Arriving to the township now  Over the crossing over the creek  And now there's lazy shops around  And restaurants  But you can still see the mountains in the distance from the township There's a lovely pub on the right that plays live music  And a few unique gift shops dotted around  Past the town central park surrounded by gardens and tall tre...

Bunya is near Samford in Brisbane Australia and I found this beautiful swimming river, picnic area, and nature walk along the river on Dugandan Road. There is also a drive with beautiful views along Heather Anne Drive

I've started lighting candles every night even if it's just one by my bed and I love the atmosphere it creates. I keep wanting to live a more simple life connected to nature, having a very natural feeling home.   I'm wanting to do more simple activities at night like writing, focusing on just being with other people, and listening to music and connecting to others through music.  I think I want to feel connected to the past too.  I found some beautiful music that is spiritual and hippieish with spiritual or healing poetic lyrics. I love the idea of music that is also poetic.  Here's just a few artists I've found with very poetic healing and spiritual lyrics that I plan to listen to more and recommend:  fia Alexa sunshine rose saqi Edo & jo rising appalachia doe paoro ajeet Tina malia Equanimous Activation Yaima Peia Amber lily

The day is so bright today besides the lake  All the colours of the day are so bright and sparkling crystal clear  Through this nature  By the tall overshadowing trees and sunshiney green grass that surround the road for miles  Walking down to the waters edge of the lake on the earthy green grass  A pied butcher bird is watching me from a tree branch  The tall, tall old trees surround me like a forest here  Then walking down to the waters edge of the lake in the big clearing between the trees and the lakes water, I say how its such a beautiful day as I am emersed in this day, in this beautiful spot in nature, in this scenic view of the untouched tree covered mountains in the distance, with nothing but forest all the way between the mountains and the lake, then the sprawling lake with so much open space above the breathtaking expanse of deep blue sparkling water, with the forest on the edge of the lake a familiar and charmingly beautiful view. Today I s...

The songs of the birds in the morning  Creates a charming beautiful sanctuary  They sing of love, the sunrise,  And all the trees, sunlight, and flowers that make them happy 

The moon rises over the houses  Silence and darkness of the night  The cool mystical peacefulness of the night stretching on forever  The night realm is it's own world  The night world coming to visit every evening  Vastness of night air purifies my body heart and soul  The night mother talks in quietness  The moon is saying follow your instincts  Your eyes are lights your eyes are your soul  You are alive in this world so live fully  Give into your instincts and only your instincts  The night,  speaking in quietness and darkness, coolness and mysticalness  leaves me at that and flows on,  stretching out in vast endless time for the rest of the night. 

  The moon is always with us  I think we forget that  But the moon is always always near  Maybe sometimes past the other side of the planet  But she is always right by our side  Big, ginorormous, mystical and glowing  We can feel though the moon is a part of us  Shining big moon in the black timeless night  She's singing a song, a song about many forever's and whispers of the changing of tides

You can feel the mood of the storm building up all day  Hear the storm tell you "I'm coming" all year  The changing of nature starts with the day becoming darker and darker  Suddenly you notice all blue is gone  There is only grey everywhere above  Slowly the massive storm of the sky is drifting closer and closer  Quietly,  so quietly it has crept up over the sky First everything goes darker  And you can feel an electricity in the air  Everyone's mood grows fearful  Then you hear it, the thunder far far away high in the sky  Calmly now,  the storm flows slowly closer  Awhile later you start to feel the tiny specks of cold cold rain fallen to the ground from high high above  The thunder is closer and much louder now  Yelling at you that the storm is the king and threatening you that you better hurry fast into your house  "BANG!" That's when lightning is striking near,  the storm is high above  You c...

  I always see the mountain range far away in the distance  The suburbs start at the foot of the forest and run all the way to the ocean  But everytime I drive these roads home,  I see nature's mountains  Something of such pure divine beauty  They are so far away but you can see how far.   You can see the earth.  Hills in the suburb speak to me of the beauty of the landscape,  all these trees that cover the hill and the winds that sweep across the hill.. Those winds that also greet me at my hidden cozy window  The forests over the mountains are another world.. A beauty,  peacefulness, charm that politefully and gracefully expects conservation  Koalas live there  And so many wild animals  So many thousands of birds over there, that only know nature.   I hear beautiful emotional music play when I gaze at the mountains for just one moment  Sometimes longer,  constantly changed by this reality and...

Memories of nature  Nature has always spoken to me A song of wind,  rain,  and bird song  Whispering to me about the vast expanses of the world  Singing to me between the branches  About secret places of beauty forgotten by the world  Calling to me through the mountains about the histories of people here  Telling me  How tall the sky is  How far the storms go  But always comforting me  Nature tells me the wind is a lullaby for me And the seasons and flowers are a piece of art  There's always so much to discover about nature  It tells me  Can you really know everything

I visit again and again  Walking that journey down to the end of the jetty Step by step  I glide through  Softly touching the jetty edge rail  Brilliant blue vast vast ocean lighting up my world  And the vibrant vast blue skies with all its soft fluffy clouds  A sunshine day A dream of a simple life  Only a few village folk are around  This is such a peaceful tranquil quiet day  Step,  step,  step  Getting further from the shore  Out into lady sea  Down down to the boarding ramps They rock a little back and forth  Upon the water  Thousands of small fish dance down deep  Yes I see fish sometimes  Once a giant sting ray  So many memories  Of the vibrant happy village people  And of course the sea birds  Are an often sight  Nothing enchants me  Like the ocean water  The sea depths  This day out far in pure nature In walking back too  You feel raw and alive...

It's always a bright joyful place  You know you're there when you see the bright sparkling blue water  You enter a garden by the lake Soon reaching the path by the lake  Little birds are chirping and flitting about up in the trees  Bearded Dragons small to big offer a friendly welcome letting you know this is their home you have come to  As you walk by the water you see some water birds, water wren with their black and dark blue bodies and red beaks. They honk to eachother  Talking to their loved ones  And they are just always foraging on the edge of the lake  You pass quaint peaceful quiet little apartments next to the lake  Each With their own lovely little garden You pass under tall shady trees that block out a lot of light  Walking through a more open space by the lake you find more bearded dragons of all sizes sunning themselves on the grass next to the garden beds  You see a lot of colourful water plants here in the distance,...

If Mother Nature wants to tell us about what Spring means,  she's saying colour.   I guess the Jacarandas are a sign of spring...  From nature  Everywhere,  they are determined to be at the top of everyone's imagination  For this short time  Giant calm purple flowered trees  The Purple flowered trees dotting my human landscape of roads, cars, houses  But they take over  Now these jacarandas are all you see An abundance of soft purple petals Soft purple petals covering the ground  The trees shine and radiate with beauty taking over the whole of this part of the world  Such a large area that you find them again and again  Singing a beautiful instrumental song  Spotting light purple in nature from the areas of houses to parks to the edge of town and even far away in the countryside  Driving they will sing to you everywhere  Those purple flowering trees  They are telling me  Nature flows throughou...

  I go there all the time  What's nice  Is I've realized I'm so close to the ocean  It's such a bright happy place  Travelling there  Doesn't take long  Around the street and down a long road  Buildings and houses and lots of people  Then there's more trees and nature  Through the native trees and bushes  Exists a little piece of countryside by the ocean  They look like really relaxing places to live  With their traditional farm cottage looks  Through the trees you see glimpses of the water, bright and blue in the daylight Around the bend we see sheep in a paddock Sometimes horses  There's the little jetty for fishing people  And then the long park and walk by this ocean inlet  A cozy little cafe is now on the corner There's always bright happy people here and there at this shore  The bright sunlight makes the deep blue ocean water sparkle  We always see some seagulls and pelicans  There'...
