WAITING | stand on the shore In the black of night, And wait for the Dawn— The Dawn that brings Life. I strain my arms to the sky As my voice shrills into space; I give thanks To my God Because it has come— The Dawn that brings Life. I stand on the shore In the fading sunshine And wait for the Night— The Night that takes Life. A CHALLENGE They say that man is nothing but dirt. But if that is so, what is dirt? lf mere dirt can raise skyscrapers, What can the skyscrapers do? They also say that man is in shackles But how can dirt be kept in shackles? Dirt is free, it belongs to the earth. The earth is the universe, can it be jailed? It is said that man once dead is gone. And that a failure is as good as dead. But how is that so if he turns to dust? And dust is ever creating man? PANACEA | saw a man, and he said 'Tis wise to be well read, Then disappeared. Another, just as strange, told Me, to stay not in the fold, But be alone. Yet, another did | see whose claim Was, Тіс wise to fear the name Of God Then vanished he. Bewildered, | turned to a lad, Who by me stood, sad, And spake he to me, Sir, I've learned tis best to be Mad, Mad, Mad. And to him, did I lend ear.
