Why Poem by Diana van den Berg

Why



Fifty-eight and still my heart knows
thunder and lightning,
hail, rain and cold,
grey days and tears,
anguish, loss, suffering and sorrow...

and how I have learnt
to celebrate them
for they are my badge of humanity,
my armour against indifference,
the melting pots
of rainbows, hope, sunshine, joy
and the bubbling
colours of the universe.
