Urge to See - #1
Let us go then you and I in search of Toucans and Hornbills
into the blue or the green -
anyplace wilderness exists
Let us go then where peace comes dropping slow
in bee loud glades or
wherever churrs whirs chirps whistles caws
prevail
Let us go then you and I
When the day dawns
with rosy fingers and the morning chorus
When stygian night has fallen
In search of
wrens and owls
In whatever land they roost, nest
Whatever air they ply
Let us go then you and I in search of
auroras and orcas,
baboons and periwinkles
and catch tigers in red weather
So let us go then you and I
to fulfill our urge to see
to bear witness
to do what we can do, for
We are here as on a darkling plain
Where ignorant armies
Clash by day and night
And the world, (so
various, so beautiful...) the earth, the planet suffers and is undone.
