Uluru

 

Silence of the desert red

Rolling plains all round

Aboriginal homestead

Forever sacred ground

 

Rising from the plains

The solid red Rock

Showered with rains

Gigantic humid block

 

Mysterious waterfalls

Splashing down the slopes

Here the Outback calls:

All our dreams and hopes

 

Walking towards the block

Small billabong and gums

My hand on the Rock:

Music sticks and drums

 

Mixture of sensations

Energy and power

Ancient vibrations

It’s Anangu hour

 

40.000 years of history

Flowed right through my hand

Uluru, a sacred mystery

In our Australian land
