the sun waves 
white flag
surrenders.
bowed 
too low 
arise
arise
arise
you shall.
*
We sipped tea
a ceremony of
kindred spirits
obedient to our
code , they share not.
We whispered
shared sparkling 
tongues 
of hope
of truth
of more 
then this...
*
our vision perceives
beyond
the bellowing below
we see more
when toes seep
deep into our earths
core and curse not
our birth --our pride--
our future.
we wait...
the pleasant tide
of paradise 
restored.
you and i
and shared evenings
spent.
