Painting Green



Wailing in the shadows
Cast by the tree that bore no fruit,
Her eyes glimmer with the dream of the distant sands
That bore the footprints of Kokopelli.
(Kokopelli is a Native American fertilitiy deity)

You may say that I’m a dreamer

Fading with the miseries of uncertainty
And the horrors of gun-smoke,
Yet searching for hope gone astray
In the stench of the killing fields.

(Inspired by the original movie by Roland Joffe, title inspired by John Lennon’s song ‘Imagine’.)
