Volvo Round the World Racing Yachts
After the long sail from Cape Town
Powering down wind,
Surfing across the Southern Ocean
Resting now in the calm waters of Docklands, Melbourne.

After the storm
After the storm
The clouds clear
And the sun appears
At sunset clouds are as grey/silver scars
on the pink sky
A sky seemingly sensitive as if beaten by the storm.
The clouds and the colour fade
And the sky again blue
The sun’s it’s clear light
Comes in the morning
Fills the day
Summer storm brewing
Summer storm brewing
On a late spring day
Summer is in the air
Heat
Humidity
The rumble of the thunder
Sounding the distant message
Of summers advance
Full moon rise over Port Phillip, Melbourne
Its a spring night
Cold
Crisp
Still
The full moon a bright orb in the sky
Shedding silver light over the still waters of the bay
Melbourne can be a little different
As the rest of Australia Swelters
In Melbourne has a top to day of 19c
As the Lunar New Year Celebrations draw to the end
There was Chinese dancing at Victoria Market
With traditional music and movement
Then in a change of pace the music for the chicken dance came from the speaker.
Not very Chinese I think
As kids got up to dance to a familiar tune.
But, of course, this is the Year of the Rooster
So why not use a European Drinking song which has chicken in the title!
Only in Multicultural Melbourne
Where cultures and traditions blend happily.
