Bushmans Final Homecoming

the Nulla Nulla passed in a delicate arch this was the final throw no prey or hunters fate awaits at journeys end end over end as the battles before or terrors that lay behind fell away, the Nulla Nulla becomes one with mother again as this warrior is beaten with the dust of time, and wearing his shroud of birth tribute is paid and offered in a thousand thanks to Gaia as a billion points of sand burn his feet he relishes his last walkabout, merging into a shimmering mirage within the dreamtime, the serpent writhes in joyous welcome, at his homecoming

Awesome, Jayne! Love the image of the "warrior beaten with time." But you give us hope in the last verse. Hopefully, in the end we will all find that joyous welcome in heaven. Very good write for my favorites. Love, Carolyn
