fast life
There are songs that come from the blue-eyed grass,From the dust of a thousand country roads,From footprints in white sand.Aboriginals call it 'songlines'-Mapping steps through the silk route of time.If only, we could pause,And hear the songs around.The one on our shoulder,The one on autumn's last leaf.On monsoon's first rain drop—Riding on a butte...  more...
