Uluru

I am heart
Monolithic
rock red heart
of Earth Mother

I draw you in
refresh you
release you

I am deeper than
your soul
older than
the time
you measure me by

I draw you in
refresh you
release you

I was here
when
you were black
and walked to me

I was here
when
you were white
and rode to me

Now you come
in all colours
enclosed in machines

I draw you in
refresh you
release you

I will be here when you are not.

Just once
in your
life time
you might see me weep

I am not sad
One greater than I
refreshes me.
