-INSPIRATIONS FROM A DROWNING-


from the ABC set SHORT (OR LONG) DITTYS - RANGING FAR FROM THE POINT

We stand before a new born day
on blistered feet
we prance and play

lucky ducky’s in a pond
upon a magic "water-wand"
we slip away and loose our bond

'tween bone dry land we can’t survive
amongst the fish we come alive

to poems written on the lips
of loved ones drowned in sunken ships

who never really had a chance
to love and dream and sing and dance
