Many excellent images here-- I love the egrets peering down as they search for forgotten steps! Wonderfully captures the moment in language befitting the experience.

Thanks for sharing your vision of a paddle out on a sunny day.
I do like this poem. My only problem with it is that I keep reading it as an aboriginal vignette. The "sign" at the end weakens it for me. The contrast between today and the distant past is good. . . after you have finished reading the poem, but I think you might want to find a way to heighten it.
(I personally would prefer it to be purely an Indian poem.) ;)
