The Blue Mountains

Wembley

Beyond the pane of your sunroom eyes
Crisp air suspends cold
Soaking nature’s gift.
Winter Solstice climaxed high above you
Atmospheric inversion layers create
Artful contrails left behind
By man’s supersonic flying machines.
You remain unperturbed by
Distant motorway sounds
Amplified by the stable freshness of season.
Your warmth of heart
Harnessed by walls of sandstone
Spark, crackling wood smoke
Comfort my sinus
Eucalypt smell in my wool jersey.
You stand grand in the Mountains of Blue
Proud of your contribution
To family and friends of generations.
I sit with you now delicately absorbing
Rich berry aged cabernet into my bloodstream.
Paperback rested upon my chest,
Forever at ease with you.
Wembley, you are most radiant in this season.
Wembley, don’t ever close your door.
Wembley, continue to stoke my heart
So I can be at peace with you
Forever.
