The big blue drive.

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.
