HAPPY NEW YEAR





the world descends on sydney
at this time of year
the locals escape to wherever
yours truly to the peace and quiet of the outback
away from the crowds

looking up at the milky way
on this lovely evening
i wish you all a happy new year
may 2018 bring peace and prosperity
to you all

away from the crowds
i welcome in the new year
with stars in my drink

  6. Oh I would love to welcome in the New Year with stars in my drink....too cold here for that right now as the snow flies and the wind makes it below zero....wishing you warmth and light on this New Year!

  9. How envious I am of you being able to escape to the outback. There is nothing quite like seeing the stars so clearly then.

  12. Late in getting my comments to you. A lovely way to start the new year, I think. Yours always comes a little earlier that ours in the States. Love getting away to where the stars really shine in the sky.
