wiser roots

wiser roots
August 16, 2005

rain falls pure from the heavens
tainted by interpretation
mankind attaches to it 'sorrow'
and, from the cleansing waters, withdraws
crying out all the while for the sun
to warm their hearts
and chase away the darkness

as mankind cowers from the gifts of life
a leaf unfolds and wiser roots drink deep
