Feelings
In almost everyone
With long associations
With death
With waste
With pointless suffering
Symbolic
Standing tall
Swaying and smiling
Smiling in the sun
Pressed
Stressed, transparent like tissue
Transparent
As if of memories evoked
Sharpness
Shear and in contrast
To the gentle gentleness evoked
Without hesitation to harm
With sharp swords of such irony
Backdrop to the innocent
Backdrop to the outrageous
Also to the triumphant
Wise man
He who brings flavour
Wise man
He who paints cowboys
Wise man
He who rides the barren landscape
Wise man
He who blends with shades of dominant blue
Our bodies
Our health
Our friends
Our freedom; near sparkling
Shimmering on sun-kissed seas
And the never ending sound of the tides
Gently pushing and pulling
Desirous again
To join Cousteau on Calypso
Exploring
Marvelling
Gardening
His sea, my garden
As presently
All of this is mine
