Samhain
The day brighter than a grin
Door open the tree outside
Leaves still green. I put out food,
Bamboo shoots, wanton soup, wet
Noodles, all steaming hot. And
Of course, dried chilli flakes. Hot too!
All your favourites. On
A special table sponged and ringed with light -
The Asia of our beginnings, wild rice of youth
I'll listen, dwell awhile,then let dusk take us
Each to where we belong,
Here, there, in-between.
Near the Hindmarsh River estuary close by at Victor Harbor there are beautiful resilient swamp paperbark trees. A boardwalk and trail lead around them; in winter the surface of the water in the small lagoon next to the trail flirts with the trees' reflections on those still days that have one stop, enchanted. This blog is to follow the trail wherever that may be lead across the world of enchantment and earth rapture.
