IN SEARCH OF
Pour us out a little peace
Clear for us a little refuge.
Just for now turn off the tap
Of incessant change'
Just for a while. 
Let the manic breathe the air
Excite him with colours
Let him feel sounds lapping at his soul
Turn off the grinding machine,
Clamorous noise
Imprisoning the mind.
Today I want to hear the birds sing
I mean hear,
Not a backdrop to raging industry.
Today I want to watch the grass
Bend in the breeze,
Without command to keep it in neat
Short strips.
To sit without orders or deadlines
And talk a little with the person
I used to know as me.
