Even for the Americans
Once enemies, welcomed now as friends

Australian Aboriginal Rock Art, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australila

Walkabout

I go on walkabout
With my dilly bag
Spear thrower and spears
And a goose feather fan
No more than that
But a song in my heart
The song of my spirit
The song of the land

Leaving its footprints
On the landscape

But to impress upon the inhabitants
Where the true source
Can be found
