Melbourne-Sydney Train RideA dozen ten-dollar bills
Small price to pay for
An invitation into the heart of nature
That beauty, cultivated by the
Spirit of God, through the hand of man
Yet untamed, pristine, majestic
Through the ages, the miracle that is
Shaping, moulding; ranges and plains; great and vast;
A billion replications of a single leaf, or river drop
The aloof cocoon stirs within, yet unaware
Its cloak of insularity, blind to power
Gradual yet active; the renewal of creation
