Soft grey corrugated sheets
like a proud rooster surveying the hen run.
Proudly protecting its own golden secret,
Lying hidden in liquid ebony serenity,
Beneath the Mirror of the sky.
Soft grey gum and wattle hold the secret close,
Gently folding in on the tranquil lake of secrets,
The alchemists dream of gold.
