CALM
- Mencius
Very nice poem and graphic. Thank You.
The graphic is of a famous saying in Britain during WWII that lives on today in memory, prints and t-shirts.
I knew a couple who worked for the British war effort in London at the time and they were the essence of calm, God bless them.
Bitter land sheathed in white robes
empty of sound but for the crack of ice
too long the time for robes
too long the driest of food
oh sing of the warming land
and of life when water flows again
of birds that give thanks to the sun
and children laugh
