 -1-

Mudgee.. welcomed me with open arms

Her farm is a haven of joy

Her forests are a colourful dress

And the hat is the flowers of the meadow

I'm still practicing to walk on it

I will climb its steps, one by one

Her wine resembles my poetry

She exposes me, she steals my thoughts

She throws me onto the shores of joy

And I'm unaware of the joy

The vineyards wore a bride's veil

But her groom isn't real
