Frolic

Dawn hurls Bird song greeting; Morning light ~~~~~~~~~ Sleepy daze Drowsy feel; Wobbly feet ~~~~~~~~~ Mind groggy Feeble feet glide; Cold water aftershock ~~~~~~~~~ Black bird tryst Window ledge concert; Dawn psalmist ~~~~~~~~~ Bamboo pines sway Rustle in the wind; Breezy escapades ~~~~~~~~~ Listen now Wind chimes amuse; Random strains curl ~~~~~~~~~ Sit here still Waiting impulse; Words unfurl meaning ~~~~~~~~~ Burma votes Perhaps for change; People live hop ~~~~~~~~~ Signs tell Deep dark story; Massacres surreal ~~~~~~~~~ Wars show up People die; Fate is cruel ~~~~~~~~~ Some say Talk is cheap; Life is cheaper ~~~~~~~~~ Paradoxical Man the beast, Unveil the saint then ~~~~~~~~~ One by one Lost like the others; Even hope despairs ~~~~~~~~~ Voice clear Choice steers; War my dear ~~~~~~~~~ Beauty sighs Truth cries; Killing time ~~~~~~~~~ Faith hopes Hope clings; Love attends ~~~~~~~~~ Frolic here Beyond despair; Hope awaits wit ~~~~~~~~~ Leon Enriquez 09 November 2015 Singapore
