Poem for Today


Words
Long and short
Fat and thin,
But still the same
Words
Bringing news;
Sometimes good,
Sometimes bad,
But still only
Words,
Carrying their
Messages
Filled with hope
Or despair;
This profusion of
Words
That fall
From your lips,
To cover
     The inner depths
     Of my
                             Understanding
                              © 1978 : Colin Gordon-Farleigh

The above poem is from 'Flight of a Bee' First published in 1978 by Gazebo Books (Pty) Ltd., Rhodesia, and in 2006 by Voice Publications (ISBN 0-9553583-3-7).
