Always here

Picture me in the high country, walking
the airy spaces of open bushland.

The tall and slender gums with
their smooth white trunks
stretch delicately above me
dappling the ground
with pale shadows.
Light plays with light.

Picture me always here,
enduring forever, part of this spirit.

When you come, you will find me here.
When you are away, I will still be here.
You will always know where I am.
I am here.
