Contemplate

Contemplate Poem Lionel Derbyshire And did mine mind wander to places be on leaving grey mouths behind back home now alone .. still I sit at a lake in the park named consolation and contemplate .. watching calm silver water sliver into small waves. I am in quiet ponder time and wonder home. The lake is noiseless inert and filled with placid art There is bird and tree diverse in a landscape ornate. A goose sails the lake and pass me by in a peaceful industry of water under cloud it is realistic theatre. I stare and gaze where the geese will sail to and sleep tonite.. In a chance of reeds perhaps At the lake I start to contemplate are my little sisters safe and warm home do they have a plate to eat ? a big brother dear is always wanted near.. I hear their teasing giggles when those doll faces saw biscuits they knew it was christmas now I teardrop. honk .. honk .. the gander makes a wed call he is a contender to mate new life peace I feel my strength is real I see the juice of nature I appreciate the go life which God has dispensed for me.. But far away i am from state and homeland in a land foreign and forlorn I ponder on my imigrate our jolly brigade I correlate home with mountain moving faith on courage and hard prayer I was selected to leave my local on mission to send money home for nourish in my bornland I crave the games we played but here sedate I am I reflect on my fatherland though now I live in mercy land with ocean distance and now I contemplate going home here at lake Consolation.
