For A Moment



Round then down the soul sinks
               In an eddy of spiral dreams
                     only to become reality
       ...shame of disgrace It seems...
       Floating on waves that roar
      above the dizziness of darkness.

      Is the mind an orb of a falling raindrop
                             that we must harness
                    before reaching the forestfire
                                 with nowhere to go...
          to then rise again in a puff of steam
                                     only to fall In vain
                              In a neverending cycle
                            where does it all end...
                              not unlike humanity, a
                       raindrop falls on everything.
                    Touching every living creature,
                     all plantlife ...hear them sing...
                        Now fill our seas and our
                     oceans that house the creatures
                               living below our waters....
                  We are dependant on plants of life
                  that make our world what it is...
                              good is bad ...Nova Scotia.
