Warm earth
Human faces
Talk my language
Write stories
From red rock heart

I've heard
It's a new country
No culture, no story
This is an old country
An old, old country
A timeless story

The land touches you.
Scratch the surface
Three, four, five generations -
It doesn't belong to you
You belong to this land

Warm earth
Human faces
From ancient cultures
One, two generations
Direct connection
With ancient earth

Warm earth
Human faces
Millenia steeped
In red rock heart
Ancient tribes
Constantly renew
Weaving all together

The blood rivers
in our veins
The fire suns
deep within
The wind
breathes life
Red rock heart
Ground of our being

Rise gently up
One, three, five
Ten thousand generations
Renew the spirit
Touch the source
Warm earth
Human faces
Red rock heart

(C) Jennifer Lane 1992

In 2004, my aunt Jenny halted her medication for bipolar disorder and disappeared into the Australian outback with tens of thousands of dollars in cash.
This is a poem she wrote, about Australia and it's aboriginal peoples.

Whoa, that's intense.

Her story is crazy too. You haven't heard from her since?

 

[Shados]

No, we haven't. She has other physical medical conditions that require regular medicine as well, and without treatment they would soon kill her. She is either dead, or, as some information leads us to believe, living with a remote aboriginal community.

And how old is she? I'd guess if the poem was written in 1992, she was probably 26 then and today she would be about 43.

Interesting poem. The story of the aunt is more interesting however.

 

[Shados]

Why would you guess she was twenty-six from the date the poem was written?

 

[bounty hunter2]

If you are 17 than you were 12 in 2004, which means that she needs to be at least over 20, I guessed she is younger then your mother, dunno if thats true. So I randomed 26 than. :/

Logics <3

Besides that, the story is kinda interesting. Tobad that she might be dead.

Edit: Sorry, that sounded really rude. It was not meant to.
