AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Worlds Without Namaste


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seagull flying in the last light of day in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula

Carry on Tuesday #24 ~ This week our prompt is a line from
the 1998 movie Aliens:
We'd better get back, 'cause it'll be dark soon, and they mostly
come at night... mostly.

~

Formless shapes
Like hollow silhouettes
Drifting on the whispers of evening
~
Cold whispers
Like darkness visible
Echoing another far dimension
~
Fear marching
Like heartbeats scrunching shells
Breaking into worlds without namaste
~
Get back now
'Cause it'll be dark soon
And they mostly come at nightfall...mostly

~

I agree with Rinkly Rimes.
Well done.
Particularly like that it seamlessly includes the entirety of the prompt quotation.
