The first in a series of poems I wrote while out at Lake Argyle, Western Australia.

Western Northern Territory

The sound of waves lapping the shore

A serene sound of contentment

A moment in time to display

The connection between the mind

And the all surrounding nature

The sun a golden ball of light

Blazing red in the western sky

Watches over everything

As it quietly sets tonight

Setting the scenery alight

Rosy red bathes the countryside

In an irresistible glow

Highlighting nature's pure beauty

Such that is untouched by man

And is the reason for exploring

Darkness falls across the wide plains

Signalling the end of the day

Sending creatures into their thoughts

The plains becoming startling bare

As the daylight creatures retreat
