The Dancer In The Rain

This peice was inspired by JustJen2U's peice "I Am Poetry"

The dancer in the rain

Splashes colour everywhere

Reds and Yellows,Greens and Blues

Nothing can compare

Tones and race diversity

As each one plays their part

For the World has been stroked

By the brush of poetic art

 

The dancer in the rain

Saw skies of blue and oceans deep

Mountains Lakes and Rivers

Were formed in his sleep

"A place where black and white can merge

Where tones and colours meet"

The dancer in the rain

Took his artwork to the street

 

The dancer in the rain

Saw Children as the key

"No colour lines in innocent eyes

Just a mixture of diversity

If the world will be of colour

Then with Children's where I'll start"

And he took his brush and touched each one

With the brush of poetic art

 

The dancer in the rain

Saw what he had done

But he also saw the damage

That would happen in years to come

"I can only create it

For everyone to see

If they want to destroy it 

Well that's not down to me "

 

The dancer in the rain

Has tears in his eyes

As he takes one last look

At Fields Lakes and Skies

He felt the wind across his face

And saw the not so brilliant sun

And as he packed his brushes away

He sighed "My work here is done "

 

So we contiue to burn the Forest

And put holes in the sky

We continue to ravish crops and fields

As demand outgrows supply

And the old man stands weeping

Wishing he could explain

With brush in hand against leadening skies

The dancer in the rain

Carl this is such a wonderful poem. It has a hypnotic rhythm and such a lesson for us-
The title is great, the wisdom and lesson greater.

He's beautiful and he exudes grace. He represents a combination of all of God's creation woven by His hand. It's all a part of a plan that is hard to fathom. Your words tell that at one time - the beauty was appreciated, loved and adored. And the children are the future of mankind and this should have been held of importance. The destruction which has been self inflicted has given these children and grim future. It breaks the dancer in the rain's spirit to see how cruel and unusual humans have been. We were given so much and we destruct in it and destroy it. I only pray the dancer in the rain can make an impact. And he can - through these very words.
