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.
Bobby Ferguson 2012.
