Big Blue Sky
The big blue sky,
arching over all,
its driving weather
for travelling south.
A caterpillar-back
winding grey road,
complete with white stripes,
leads us on.
Holiday vehicles on the march: An ant column of humanity.
Impressive, distant, steel-blue
mountain peaks
hold up the very edges of the sky.
Central Otago gold covers valley, plain and hill.
Oases of glacial ice-blue rivers and lakes
set like jewellery
in the dry
tussock-grass landscape.
This whole Island
seems
enveloped,
comforted
by the
big blue sky
hemisphere.
