    The Bulrush and the stream

     

    Teased into a breeze leaning with nature’s wand, majestically stood the bulrush frond.

    Horse close by grazed grass to root, summer played with summer’s lute.

    New growth, golden field’s, patch-worked corn, silken-shaded waters filled with spawn.

    Under fine oak, escaping sun’s gaze, stream waters twinkled under musical rays.

    Greened-fence wood, only as lichen could, felt warm under hand – so good.

    Gentle cascade, wetness played, pebble and water a melody made, singing of the stream sang a serenade.

    Bulrush continued in breeze to lean, guard of gentleness to babbling stream.

    Wilderness cacophony to me a dream, fullness of life a variation on a theme.

    Still the bulrush mighty and strong protects waters journey, gentle and long, stands guarding the most beautiful song.

    Distant days of summer past would ever make a memory last, yearning to hear as before, melody of bulrush and stream once more.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
