Homage from Songs Of The Tree A Poetic Journey
Homage
I represent
The little people and
The has-beens
And all those who
Had a voice and
Who have no voice
So I
Wrap them up
Their thoughts
And ideas and
Redemption songs
And struggles and
Triumphs
And I
Wear them around me
Like a Cashmina
For warth
Comfort and
Remembrance.
I represent
The forgotten
Whose bones
Rest thousands of miles
Below the abyss
But
Whose souls dwell in me and
Take shape
Through song
Dance/food
Stories and
my HAIR
I represent the
Little people
The has-beens
The forgotten
Who shout
To be heard and
Cry to be
Felt/cause
This is the only
Way
For them,
I represent the
Little ones’
Those who had
No voice and
Have no voice
I Represent and
THEY Represent ME.
