Feast at jungle

Location

We have come to the " feast" 
At jungle, to dance to tunes 
Of music of our time, and now, 
Leaving the arena for others, 
Returning with cheering heart. 

Gladdened by our worth 
Our shoulder laid with arrogant pride 
As it was at the beginning, 
We stomped tirelessly, bathed with 
Salt water and with the eyes of flame 

Grope for dream. 
" Determination" stands the watch-word 
To some, it shattered away 
As the hour danced past 
When at the time of deep distress 

Along the hobbling wattle forest 
And of trial, were threshed 
And shoved into obscurity. 
But we pegged away into 
The realm walls of faith 

Where we spurned the nights 
Of fear that stalk the day 
In a combative poise. 
We are coming 
To fertile our land 

With the frothy glory 
Trapped in our hands. 
Hearts leap of joy 
As we slung our bags over 
Our back, touching each other, 

Gaze timidly at faces with surge 
Of excitement. 
Hear the drum beat of glee. 
Indeed! 
We have arrived at the niche of time 

Bringing castles of hope, 
Telling sad-sweet tales 
Of our voyage.
