The Waterfall

to Berthe Patterson, Noam Chomsky, Valeria Wasserman-Chomsky, Francisco Gomes de Matos, Margarita Wallander- Marchus, and Margarita Ramirez

This afternoon
a waterfall of bliss
roared
and refreshed the air
with its spray
of huge
tear drops.

Iguazu Falls, Parana, Brazil, July, 1989

Wonders of a Wanderer

to Berthe Patterson, Noam Chomsky,Francisco Gomes de Matos, Margarita Wallander- Marchus, and Margarita Ramirez

Silvery sunbeams adorned the mountains.
A rainbow arched radiant and high.
The morning clouds bright and blue
As song birds trilled at mid day.
While on the other side of dusk,
The sky turned purple as doves flew
To flutter into a twinkling twilight.
But why am I here?

Adrift on the deep blue sea,
Look up towards the endless, clear water
So full of of islets and islands emerald verdant..
While fishermen and sailors
All the sea so far from home
Where I lay wondering.
