we are all interconnected  in mind, body, spirit

The birds connect us with their overview

af the skies that we share 

the rivers connect us across Country 

as the lifeblood and veins that return us all home

the trees connect us as the roots of our being

across Country

the garru (magpie) sings us to the day ahead

and the gugabarra (kookaburra) sings us to the close

the gundungurra (yellowtail black cockatoo) is brother 

to the guuga (goanna) is brother 

to the Muriyira (whale) and to all totems 

of all First Nations Countries 

and speak to each other 

of our shared stories and unique journeys 

because we are all interconnected 

in mind, body, spirit
