sing
song was before speech
truth was well before the fact
that's how we were meant then
that's how a whole world
bent to our being
before we could call it
we sang
all of those quavers and crotchets
now tamed
were strung up in trees
much nearer to truth
wings bore them
we won't see them now
that's because we understand
when formerly we sang
oh wow that's fantastic, it has its own melody and would sound great sung
ReplyDeleteGreat poem - I love the revelling in the voice and the song, and the deeper truth revealed.
