Somehow
I don’t want to know the real story
Of why these posts exist ~
I like to read them as they are ~
What they seem to represent
What they seem to say
~
They gather
Like a corroboree
Of spirits ~
Ancient spirits maybe
Living silently
In the Dreamtime
Of now
~
Blue for the waters of the bay
Far below
~
Raw wood
For nature ~
Undressed beauty
~
And then
Three posts
Symbolising elements
Of the human spirit
~
An ochred
Earthy post
Swirling in hints of white
Ceremonial
Light
~
A post boldly coloured
In dancing rings
Of celebration ~
Like a maypole
Of ribboned
Laughter
~
And a post
Of
Handprints
A sign of touch
A sign of being
~
Together
Beneath the boughs
Of sighing greens
They seem to be
Foundations
For another
Life
~

P.S. On 7th June, I found a possible answer. See my posting Answers?
