Farewell Adieu.
But now ….farewell…adieu..
I leave to travel to that far off place,
Where diaphanous vapours hang
in deep river ravines which I
must navigate.
And every dawn could bring
a noble chance of hope;
For when the vapours lift
and nature everywhere is born,
When birds and animals
are free to roam again,
the Seas and Earth will be transformed.
All nature will remember then,
it voiced its song on silken breeze
between the glaziers…
Before barbarians drowned them out
In this huge city sprawl with all its lusts
and angry pacing feet
on every patch of ground.
Where life is scattered fragments
amongst the displaced bird song sounds.
