A Stranger in our Land (an arrow from Papua New Guinea)

From far away it came,
its siblings might have slain,
Those that did prance,
nothing special at first glance

But today it stands idle,
Holding a secret so expanse,
In a shell so brittle,
nothing special at first glance

The creators lived life simple,
We met at a sing and dance,
A simple look and my feelings rekindle,
nothing special at first glance

Designs painted so delicate,
Mine by only chance,
The appreciation is definite,
Although, nothing special at first glance

My life has been enhanced,
The arrow now embraced,
Be it an act of fate,
I have only you to thank.
