john beharry Poems

Deep within the bowels of the earth
a pressure builds up in intensity
As lava and gases increase in growth
bubbling and seething with angry fury
...

Mother Earth spinning on your centre
while revolving around Father Sun
Making day and night on your surface
and the different seasons every one
...

Laid as an egg on a leaf by your mother
you patiently awaited Nature's magic spell
In a few days you became a caterpillar
and then chewed your way out of the shell
...

The wear and tear of my past experience
has ravaged my spirit, body and soul
Now my life is a mere shallow existence
with a deep longing to be made whole
...

Peace!
The hush of night
Fills the land.
Transfixed!
