LULL AFTER THE STORM:


The crashing, banging & thunder has gone,

No more bashing of Thor´s drum & gong,

The fireworks of sulphured flashing lights,

Have left the sky, with their abating fights,

Rain in torrents, streams & lashing flood,

Stop, leaving beating blood & sodden mud,

Stillness reigns now & new life starts stirring,

Soft breezes overland, like big cats purring,

New beginnings, in Delta´s heaven of reeds,

Upon jaw & maw, droplets drip in given beads,

Sunlight wet-dancing, upon Africa´s liquid gold,

Water, water everywhere, life giving, never sold,

The clash of symbols, silenced now upon the sky,

New life restored & born, with no need to die.
