As if reaching upward
into the heavens, touching
the happy hunting grounds,

its once richly bold,
colors of Red, Blue
Yellow and Green  

are now faded and
appear ghostlike in
the grayish weather:

worn wood that
no longer resembles
its original images.

Those who could define
the engravings slowly
vanish with each twilight --
Soon none shall remain,
leaving us  with
a great enigma:

another riddle to ponder.
what does it  means,
who carved it, when?
