L’esprit
(for Asha & Michael)
The heart can speak
yet it sings
a bird can walk
but it wings
Lightness soars but
everywhere
even in this woestruck
world of care
The Modern World
wreaks gravitas
more than
spirit can bear
Let the lilting heart
yearn it to sing
let the chirruping bird
learn it to wing
Whilst we on the shore
worry work and weep
look in the seas
dolphins love – and leap!
