[hometext] => Does Australia, the land, have a spirit? Yes it does, it has spoken to me.
[bodytext] => Wind sweeps cross
the dry red plain, Wedgetails circle on high. A lone black figure stands tall and proud under a blazing sun, and clear blue sky. What does he see through those knowing eyes? What does see-here today? Is it the land is it the trees? "The spirit is callin'." I hear him say. "This land it breaths it talks to me." he looks around and sighs. "Spirit has become sad from greed, alcohol and drugs." He drops his head and cries. For his people come from a different place One without modern care. Now he sees them drunk and reckless round many a park bench chair. He lives in the land of the Southern Cross a land of happiness and of wealth. But has seen a people murdered and gagged from actions hidden by stealth. "I hear it, the spirit callin' me mate I'll pass on it's saddend cry." And together as Australians win or loose, we'll try. To give you back your dignity your birth right as a mate. And foster love and respect for a people who have lived under fear and hate. Have you seen the smiles of children? Out on the outback plains. Have you seen miles of rivers after the pouring outback rains? Within these distant images of a land few of us have seen. Layes a beauty of waiting harmony just the way it should have been. I turn and walk in perfect step with a man who stands so tall. From now on in till the day I die I will tell his strory to all.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
