A Poem: On Turmoiled Ground

On Turmoiled Ground

Child! Child! Rest your head upon pine bough drifts

Let moonlight guide dreams through rings of knitted web

Breathe a rhythm of lilac scented mourn

Awake! Wipe song of sorry gently from your parched lips

Child! Child! Dance swiftly across turmoiled ground

Haste not to greet the day unturned

Lay worries at bubbling river's bend

Sing! The heart beats for feathered friends

Child! Child! Hold tight to hope with fingers twisted

Remember youth from the depth of unfiltered sun

Place your bones in rocky soil upturned

Fight! For earth and reason are one
