The Tide Recedes – M. D. Hughes

The tide recedes, 
But leaves behind 
Bright seashells on the sand. 

The sun goes down, 
But gentle warmth 
Still lingers on the land. 

The music stops, 
And yet it echoes on 
In sweet refrains; 
For every joy that passes, 
Something beautiful remains

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and we extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians today.
