I Searched For Noah's Ark

The gulls are soaring Diving for food they’ve located The beach filled with dead crabs I am a sailor in the night watching the star confuses my mind so tired....so tired. White clouds covering the blue sky Enchanting me making me dream Yet when the moon And the clouds disappear The dreams turn into a nightmare And hard it is to understand. I Will search for tranquillity I shall locate the ship before it leaves Where will I search? This is I, this is me, this is life; Noah's Ark in the mist of the horizon I swim, fast and faster I will climb the ladders of rope I will congregate with life...again. The dog and the barks at me Waggling their tails in joy I pat their heads They bite my soul! The Tom cat shagging in contempt The female cat screaming with pain; I watch.....Nature taking place I am stunned and confused As playfully they lick each other. The bull is lying on his back The cow feeding her calves No time to drink milk said I Grapes of divinity shall quench my thirst Whilst drunk I search for a goat. With a heart that loses its thumping The lungs stops me breathing..... For a while.... The horse, the mare, the donkeys Crunching damp straw The rain still pouring down And I am still thirsty, As the birds and the bees make themselves known. Earth and sea are one A city has been lost to the dolphins As the sharks bite through the boat, My house is now empty, The family no longer waiting How hard it is to be a good How easy it is to be bad.
