The project

To built a poetic bridge

Between two ancient continents 

Such as Australia and India are,  

Apart by cultural and historical oceans

Would be a task calling to mythic poets.

In order to achieve this titanic work

We, modern poets, famous or not,

Have freely chosen 

To enter this etheric world

Only armed with words and dreams.

Busily establishing new connections,

Where none existed yesterday,

In order to built the foundations

Of this rainbow of words,

Each with its own hue and creed,

Hoping that it links strongly 

In the network taking place 

High above the abyss of distance,
Prejudice and ignorance.

The might of words is powerful

But will it be enough without the dreams?

So to my new poetic friends
Let's be generous and 

Dream large, I  say.
