TOSSED WORDS


The fountain fed the sky
With sparkling droplets like rain,
Like diamonds and pearls,
Falling about like little lightning bolts
Which creased the earth's face,
Caressing the stalks of her hair
And kissing every wrinkle, every tear.

A cloud hugged the rainbow
That bridged the sky
With footprints of varied colours
Which whispered of beauty
And the art of nature's imagination.

Fish, beetles and other small things
Pattered about the river, the mud,
The pale beach sand,
Sharing stories of a world of wars
Of sickness, of death,
Where pain pierced skins like an arrow,
Like a needle
And fear held hands into restless sleep,
Like a lover, like a friend.

This is not a tale for old men
Without teeth, with only dim eyes to see
Or for men who would chew a book;
Passages, pages and all
And spit back words that are lifeless
And colourless.

This is for those who see
The romance between the moon
And the roaring sea,
The hunger of the desert
And the fear that sits in the breast
Of all that breathes.
This is for you and me.
