The Land

It was a vacant and vast land, 

It was ethereal and untamed, 

It beheld the wild and beautiful,

A never ending landscape, 

Of red dirt, grass plains and bush, 

The unceasing possibilities,

The continuous uncertainty,

The sun that ignited, 

Casting a vivid flame, 

A hue of all shades of colours, 

Awakening the land at morning, 

Sleeping the land at night, 

The land raised and nurtured, 

The land shaped and provided, 

The land was the mother of all, 

The mother of all life and nature
