Another Day, Your Soul Poem by Elna Nel

in changing flames of fire
speak to it falsely
speak to it true
words of whispering intention
a calendar of trouble
or a census of truth

in dire illusions of poetry
reveal struck down dreams
or shout tomorrow's dances
witness resistance
and witness compliance
in rubbing eyes with nature

sketch the colours of your face
in composing flames of fire
in the ever changing rhythm
of the flute's embrace
you have another day
to shake hands with your soul
