After months living in the vast, throbbing, thriving metropolis of Dhaka, one of the most wonderful things about arriving home in Northern Denmark is the closeness of nature. Here nature is like a living breathing presence, anytime you have the time to look for her.

Nature’s welcome

.

Stepping out into clear golden morning

Elusive nature purges jetlagged dreams

She’s waiting: naked, open-faced and smiling

She leads down pebbled paths with dancing steps

 .

Tossing barley hair in invitation

She waves her trees and twitters in their leaves  

Murmuring in summer flavoured whispers

She tells a tale that swells my heart to tears

 .

In majesty and miniature she charms me

Sweet flowers deck her honey scented limbs

In endless views she shows me all her treasures

Her all embracing being, home again
