In Order To Be Sane
A quiet call born of wind
The rustling needles sound,
A hard chair of stony set
Cooler than dirty ground.
A raven’s throaty call is head
And endless birdy chirps,
Beyond that silence evermore
So much better than work…
Below a shepherd’s happy bark
Faint echoes made of words,
Illusions broken instantly
By another of the world.
But frustrated I cannot be
‘case who am I to blame,
Another who will seek the wild
In order to be sane.
