Windows into the Tasmanian soul

Huddled together
at the bottom of the world
cast drift
amid unforgiving seas.
Are Tasmanians.

Immersed in beauty
overlooked by isolation
disregarded history
unnoticed creativity.
Patience underestimated.

Standing quietly
bound by community
passionate about the impossible
honest determination.
Unruffled.
