The riverside..one of my favourite places in the world...inspired entirely and solely by gwen harwood, here is what i think of it...(in fact i just twisted some of the words so that it could be applied to me..)

Sing, memory, sing those seasons in the freezing
suburb of claremont, a nature's wonderland
with tree ferns, gumtrees, diamond skies and eye-soothing
prospects from paths along the soft golden sand

before crazy cramming we two went climbing
like fairies or blessed spirits in winter light
with the quiet pulse of ocean river water chiming
as if all these months away from home were one long dreamy night,

above the leafy dazzle of the streams,
to fractured rock,where water had its birth,
we stood in silence, at the roots of dreams
content to know, we can walk the earth.
