Small green beginnings recover the soul of a dried landscape.


A Blade of Grass

A blade of grass
Shadows the ant
Standing on the red sand
Near the track

Sky of glass
Cries exultant
Joy at the greening land
Growing back

We didn't all die
There are still ants and some
Motherless and lost
Children walking

Some still cry
As they hope to find one
Friend whatever the cost
So they can start talking

The new grass
Shadows footsteps
Hurrying along
With a new day

Night shadows pass
Old land forgets
The dark song
The new grasses sway
