Tread softly, my love, you need have no fear
This is mother natures garden
We are most welcome here.
There are snakes amongst the rocks and grass
Most with venom that can kill
But If we don't disturb them
They will vanish on the hill.
Tread softly, my love, see the baby bird
It will stay out side the nest
Unless our steps are heard.
There are kangaroos and wallabys
Among the rocks and trees
We'll take the windward side
They won't sniff us on the breeze.
Tread softly,my love,for this is now my home
I'll rest here for eternity
Never more to roam.

To go back to nature,,,literally. The circle continues. Your words paint a serene place, despite the dangers portrayed. A very good read, this

This place is nature at its most primative. Wild,rugged and beautiful. Thank you for your welcome comments, always appreciated.

I hope you somehow get your wish Bob to lie for all eternity where you so wish.
This is a soft gentle rather emotional poem which I have read a few times over to fully understand what you are telling us.
I hope it's not for some time yet though as we so enjoy your time on earth especially when you pen such lovely poems.
Love Lu x

Hello Lulu, thank you for your kind and generous comments. My choice for a permanent place to rest is in the Warrumbungles. That is the remains of an ancient volcano which is now a national park. Raw, rough, and beautiful. You can google 'Warrumbungle' and see its history and some lovely photos.

Very descriptive, And it was very touching, to write about someones last resting place, clearly in a place which they love...very moving.

Forgive me, but I live only a few miles from the area about which I write here.How can that be another country. I do appreciate your visit and comments and thank you for them.
I would like to stay forever in the place described but the laws of the land now forbid it.

Very nice work here
I so love nature and the animals about us and yes most will let you be if you leave them alone and let live

For most of my life i have had an affinity with all things natural. It is therefore a given that I should like my earthly remains to stay in a place that is all natural.

This is so beautiful, soft and gentle in tone, with a huge love for your woman and your place showing. I hope you needn't move again, and can stay here until you move up the hill.

My time must be limited Mercedes, so I must think of what I will leave behind.
Sometimes I fail to tell my lady just how I feel about things. This poem and some others will remind her after I'm gone how much I cared.

Beautiful. with such love in every word.. And the story itself is just touching.

It is my wish to have my earthly remains buried in an unmarked grave somewhere in the undisturbed bushland. I can dream, can't I? I thank you for you delightful comment.

What a beautiful poem. What a lovely view you gave of such peacefullness of the country. This could be a song. I could hum this. The ending could be seen as sad, but then again, if you look at it from another point, this is saying that this is where you are going to spend the rest of your days and die there. I loved this immensely and there is no need to change a thing.
-

As you an see from my writing I have an unconditional love for all things natural, be they good or uncomfortable. The ending is not sad really, I personally can see nothing sad about being a part of the natural bushland for ever and ever. Cemetaries are for the living, those who have passed on don't care at all, they are truly free. I very much appreciate your very kind comments, thank you for being so supportive.

You writes on your country are always a joy to read Bob!
The ending was sad, yet beautiful!

Many thanks once again Jackie. The ending is not here yet. I would like to have my earthly remains buried in an unmarked location in the bushland where Mother Nature rules.
I would truly be at peace.

Great Imagery !
You write about nature with such passion Bob
Another beautifully penned poem. Most enjoyable read indeed

We are all a part of nature, whether we admit it on not. I have always had an affinity with nature and it's beauty, along with it's harshness and unforgiving places and climates.
Mother Nature has been my passsion for a great many years. Now that I am older I have the time and inclination to indulge that passion. I am indebted to you for your kind words and comments.
