It can be a #perilous #place if you cross paths with the #nargun or happen upon a #redback. It can also be worth the trek, though, if you’re lucky to see a #quokka or a #platypus, but you’ll never see a thylacine. Sadly, they were hunted to extinction long ago.

#BlueSkyRelay. #nargun
Haiku #85
Dreaming or awake
walking realms between the two
Nargun approaches.
#poem. #haiku. #poetry
some know the price of everything to a #penny but the #cost of nothing. Do those #who don't value love, affection, family, loyalty, #deserve our contempt or our sorrow? Are they #Nargun beyond saving?
#vss365 #vssdaily #2WordPrompt#BlueskyRelay
Sometimes
I wish I was a #nargun,
made of stone,
without feelings,
maybe except for rage,
destroying everyone in my way.
Most of the time,
I am glad I'm not.
#BlueSkyRelay
half human half stone
it lives in the realm of Dreams
stay to your campfire
it will drag you to its den
the #nargun will destroy all.

I didn’t expect this prompt to lead me into a place where silence watches and the rocks remember you.

The word #nargun comes from the sacred stories of the Gunaikurnai people of southeastern Australia. Out of respect, I’ll let the community that carries them speak for themselves:

Thanks @jakobgamertsfelder.bsky.social who chose the word — it’s a powerful one to learn from.

The Nargun's story
In Australia is best told
By an Australian.

Children vanish into the mouth of silence,
pulled beneath the roar of water,
swallowed whole by the dark.
The Nargun stirs in her cave,
she who steals those who wander alone,
her eyes a chasm,
devouring what light dares remain.

#Penny wished to be
strong, impenetrable— #cost
be damned. Something heard
her: she woke with a #shudder
to find herself a #nargun.
#vss365 #vssdaily #blueskyrelay #inkMine
Never wanted to be
a rock climber
anyway I'm scared
of hights
But most all
I fear a nargun
the most chilling
of all sights

##blueskyrelay #nargun
The moon exerts a pull
Creates an ocean wavelength
A tree moves every day
Bending boughs at night to sleep
We don't see either happen
We need to make things
That like matchsticks
Can prop our eyes open
What if we were a whale at sea
Or a tree, would we see
The dread Nargun
Gunaikurnai tribe
Maintain the nargun's waters,
Behemoth of life.

A boy and a shadowed stony creature stare up at the stars outside in the Australia bush.

In 1973 Patricia Wrightson published "The Nargun and the Stars", illustrated by Robert Ingpen
It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, conversely we also say there are more things than are dreamt of.
