DRY REED
Dry reed in the wind
Through which I see
Looking back at the future
Through yourbreaking twigs
Why show just bleak
Pictures, images unsure
That our trials,
No end shall know.
With youth blurred eyes
Looked I then and yesterday
But with eyes, clear and strong
Look I now and tomorrow
same vision, and same sight
That our trials,
No end shall know
Dry reed in the wind
Seeming ageless
Imposing unwanted views and sights
And I
Stultified,
Wth strength and sight
Paplike, blurred, cloudy
Images, yet unsure
Our trials never will end
Ozoke Any,
Your silent muteness shocks
Beyond points, natural and acceptable
Then curse the darkness no more
And throw off your calm
Rise once more
As you used to rise
Light a match
Speak to the world
Break that reed
I will pay for it.
