Every thread of creation
is held in position
by still other strands
of things living
In an earthly tapestry
hung from the skylines
of smouldering cities
so grey and so vulgar
As not to be satisfied
with their own negativity
but needing to touch
all the living as well
And 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
And every dawn
that breaks golden
is held in suspension
like the yolk of the egg
in albumen
Where the birth
and the death of
unseen generations
Are interdependant
in vast orchestration
And painted in colours
of tapestry thread
when the dying are born
and the living are dead
And 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
And 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
But if man is allowed
to destroy all we need
He will soon
have to pay
with his life
For his gre....ed
