Encoded in our DNA, encoded in our blood,
In the fingerprints of the rock,
…and mirrored in the shadows at sunset,
Lies the secrets of our ancestors.
The lessons we need to heed.
The age-old call of the wild.
Written in the slate,
Engraved in each grain of sand,
The sun burning away the dirt
To leave only the long-forgotten language
Encoded in the sand.
Encoded in the land.
The language of the landscape
Of humans in harmony with nature:
In rhythm. In dance. In blood-red of the sand.
