Driftwood Obelisk

The liminal zone surrenders her secrets,

hidden beneath rocks

below the pond-sand’s shelf

tippling on the tidal ebb,

this masterpiece of nature’s art

demanded to be saved.

Air – fire - water

the tools of the creation

palpable in the sculpture’s essence.

The Obelisk lay snared in a salty crevice,

Iluka Bay where mermaids sing

and carefree dolphins frolic,

a home of transfigured treasures.

Where the fishing boats lay tethered

waiting for the next poem

to write itself upon the silvery sea.
