Artistic beauty <br />A silver arrow shoots <br />Swiftly and silently across <br />The stillness of a moonlit lake <br />As another fish peeps out <br />At a sleeping world <br /> <br />Dazzling entertainment <br />The celestial magician waves his wand <br />Across the heavens <br />Sprinkling stardust which sparkles <br />Falling against black velvet <br />Upon a sleeping world <br /> <br />Dramatic tragedy <br />Another colossus is brought to his knees <br />Dismembered unmercifully <br />His domain laid waste <br />Under the cut and thrust of those <br />Who, from beneath a cloak of decency <br />Rape the land for selfish fulfillment <br />Amidst a sleeping world<br /><br />Bob Oldfield<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-forest-blues-and-greens/
