ROCK Painting
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
