THE RED HEART
THE MAN WHOSE PATH WAS ON FIRE

James Reaney


back  next


TRUST WIND & WATER

The sea too is process,
movement.

And the land,
a slow western shift.

To extend.
Is it conflict

or a loving struggle?

.....

"and so it is that by increase
.....

some are diminished
.....

& that by diminishment some
.....

are increased" (Lao Tse

.......

As I too am irritable, seek
.......

to conquer, hold to the pride of no surrender . . .

The clouds, in their beauty,
move with the wind.
