Petroglyphs on river sandstone read
carved in stone while you're in bed
rivers now dammed occlude the art
iron age man would wake in a start

ancient words were pics of life
symbols for display carved under knife
near dinosaur footpaths all worn down
cultural disappearance makes me frown

wonder how those carvings came to be
stone messages, near groves of jasmin tea
bas reliefs on river sandstone beds
carved in stone, waiting to be read.
