What Any Nature Lover Knows (Cavatina) (In Answer To Archibald Macleish) Poem by Gert Strydom

What Any Nature Lover Knows (Cavatina) (In Answer To Archibald Macleish)



Water rushes on; brown, green or silver
as it breaks stone,
it caries particles as sand along
till it is gone,
filling everything that it covers,
has a loud tone
that thunders ominous where it does fall
but it allures, draws both people big and small.
