Robert Hagan 1947 - Australian Impressionist painter -
Driving the convertible
with the top down
along the coastal highway,
mirages shimmer while hinged
to hot asphalt before me
familiar aromas of the seaside
and on the radio -
a blitz of summer hits
White sand on my nose and
Driving the convertible
with the top down
along the coastal highway,
mirages shimmer while hinged
to hot asphalt before me
familiar aromas of the seaside
and on the radio -
a blitz of summer hits
White sand on my nose and
between toes, cures woes
lingering near me.
lingering near me.
Andalusian colors and
ambrosial scents of rose hedges
ambrosial scents of rose hedges
meet billowy clouds
at my favorite beach and
sail into my heart
at my favorite beach and
sail into my heart
overflowing
Caressing my ankles,
sparkling sea gems circle
in water;
sparkling sea gems circle
in water;
ringlets of cares
subside in sea foam
subside in sea foam
With sounds of gulls and waves
my sadness leaves me.
At night, a tiger sky
descends around me
Ancient whisperingsdescends around me
lead me to dance in firelight
I sleep in tall grass
bathed in moon light,
awake to a new dawn
bathed in moon light,
awake to a new dawn
These things complete me
and restore my soul
