Poem
Unrepentant Miners I look out over what should have been viridian fields Where daisy and dandelions Found their picturesque beauty Wild and free I felt the meadow of summer skies Lay their heads beneath your bare feet To kiss at your ankles with their secrets Wild and free I saw the written verses Your laughter in April dales of rain Beneath a willow tree you came to me Wild and free I heard you dance on dewdrops From gentle hills to mountain heights You pirouette in my eyes Pirate of my sighs Wild and free …………………..but the wealth of your heart is a treasured prize to another gluttonous search for gold unrepentant miners gouge excavate your beauty to an open cast terraces dug deeper than the scars and though it hurts to see your dream piled like so much unwanted earth still given time in your own clouds of love those bright yellow flowers lift up the heads again but still they search for the precious of you they couldn’t see and never will they claw at your soul for riches they just can’t understand and think a balm of shovelling it all back you might grow again for them they just don’t know that the dusty roads have trampled you there Wild and free I touched the meads of winter skies Lay their icicles beneath your feet To kiss on your eyes with their secrets Wild and free I saw the unwritten pages Your joy in the hidden streams There beneath the willow tree when you came to me Wild and free And I watched you sing with lightning From the echoed prowess of your storm You dazzle in my eyes The sweet pirate of my sighs Wild and free …………………………..but to them your heart is a mine open and cast with the scars they are just too greedy to see they think in the fields where your treasures dwell just iron and steel to build their world and leave you a pit to get on with your life any way you can I look out over your verdant fields Where daisy and dandelions fall like gems Found their prophetic serenity Wild and free
