If we sing with all the voices <br />..................................... of a mountain, <br />And we applaud at countless <br />......................... creatures giving birth, <br />When the symphony of life <br />............................ is stifled by disdain <br />We will feel the need to mourn <br />.................................... for dying earth. <br /> <br />If we enter into pleasure <br />............................. with each rainbow, <br />And we paint our words <br />......................in colours of right mind, <br />When the clouds dropp toxic rain <br />........................ enough to foster woe <br />We feel like weeping too <br />......................... at what is left behind. <br /> <br />If we follow all the footprints <br />............................................ of a river, <br />And we understand <br />.................the lovesong of the moon, <br />When the silent pleas of <br />............... dying trees set us ashiver, <br />We will feel the need for work <br />..................... to stem earth' s doom.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/feeling-the-need/
