Every thread of creation is held in position | |
by still other strands of things living. | |
In an earthly tapestry hung from the skyline | |
of smouldering cities so gray and so vulgar, | |
as not to be satisfied with their own negativity | |
but needing to touch all the living as well. | |
Every breeze that blows kindly is one crystal breath | |
we exhale on the blue diamond heaven. | |
As gentle to touch as the hands of the healer. | |
As soft as farewells whispered over the coffin. | |
We're poisoned by venom with each breath we take, | |
from the brown sulphur chimney and the black highway snake. | |
Every dawn that breaks golden is held in suspension | |
like the yoke of the egg in albumen. | |
Where the birth and the death of unseen generations | |
are interdependent in vast orchestration | |
and painted in colors of tapestry thread. | |
When the dying are born and the living are dead. | |
Every pulse of your heartbeat is one liquid moment | |
that flows through the veins of your being. | |
Like a river of life flowing on since creation. | |
Approaching the sea with each new generation. | |
You're now just a stagnant and rancid disgrace | |
that is rapidly drowning the whole human race. | |
Every fish that swims silent, every bird that flies freely, | |
every doe that steps softly. | |
Every crisp leaf that falls, all the flowers that grow | |
on this colourful tapestry, somehow they know. | |
That if man is allowed to destroy all they need. | |
He will soon have to pay with his life, for his greed. |
Every thread of creation is held in position | |
