ROCK PAINTINGS
BY PEARCEMELVILLE

Painting on a rock
pyrite
colour reminding of Tigereye
Past soul seated  painting
What?
Of Dreaming? animals? Plants?
direction toWater?

Religious Significance?
under Burning SUN
I can make out a kangaroo
lines blurred through the years EMU  Snake Goanna TURTLE
   looking around      more I see
Tall FIGURES Hills TREES
Such simple beauty
History
Significance
Must be kept for Posterity
