I dance the dance of the hawk. I ride the wind over a narrow canyon. A slender radioactive river twists painfully towards the sea. Below me the canopy stretches from coast to coast, From pole to pole, green islands in a swollen ocean. The poisons still seep out of their decaying containers. The Earth swallows them, embraces them, cooling, cooling, Healing, healing for the next hundred million years. At night, above us, the stars once again tell their stories, Once again guide us on our journeys, reveal their beauty. Once again our spirits sing in harmony with those around us. Life itself is music, is dance, is grace, is a thing of beauty, As it once was, as it is again, as it will remain forever. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
