The ripples of an ancient shoreline
exposed by water, wind and time
rock shades of red, pinks and greys
deep contrast with the trees
and the luminous sky blue
clear water flowing over polished stones
like the old people over the landscape
been here and there through deep time
through seasons, storms, drought
transformed by the snake dream
Kakadu NP. July 2024
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the Kakadu national park lands, the Bininj and the Mungguy and its leaders past and present. Sovereignty has never been ceded. Like millions of Australians I accept the Uluru Statement of the Heart and support the Voice.
