Contribute Thus

by Paul Hall, 20 April, 1986, Tenant Creek, Australia.

A tree on the rolling plain,

An explosion of pale green.

The golden ground from which it peeks

is splicing in-between

huge swatches of ocher and green

earth to the horizon pale

and speaks of rolling eloquence,

though oft to no avail.

Their shadows long, cool winds return

as blistering, scorching sun

wends an arc in deep blue skies

and sets, it's course thus run.

And I, a spec upon the face

of a planet blue and green,

contribute thus, I know not when,

my description of this scene.

huge swatches of ocher and green
