The Flood

The flood

It looks like a good day

So, I’m going out to play

Sun shining bright

Suddenly dark clouds make day night

One drop of water

Falls on my shoulder

I should know now I’m older

That I can’t hold back water.

But! first I must stop

Go into the shop

To buy what I need

Before the water stamped

I think maybe I’ll get home before the down pour

Makes a lake at my door

From inside the shop

I watch the water drop

As if each drop is in a race

And wants to be the first to wet every dry place

I look to the sky

No blue can I spy

The pavement is soaked

So is my coat

I stop by the traffic lights

No road is in sight

Think I need a boat

I know it would float

Chester Road has become a new river run

Now! where is that sun

Where Eagles fly

Where Egals Fly.

In the forest beneath the trees

There I sit at my ease

Looking up into the clear blue sky

thinking

wondering

asking why

Do Egals fly up in the sky so high

Finding a mound of tussocked grass

I find the answer here at last.

Open your eyes

see no disguse

see now my dear how Egals fly

They turn to the wind and spread the wing

then let the brease help them to swing

over and under the current at ease

they swim in the world that is full of ease.

Now child I say to you this day you can live your life this way

open your mind and let it see

the way the day moves in the ease of me

let your self choose the way to be

and then let the univers sit in the tree

admire the view and the golden hew

let your mind absorb all that is new

watch all the people walk idelly by

and then let your memory make shure we never die.

Some times a thing spoken in jest

you just cant get off your chest

sometimes something that is just in passing

is the thing that is so suprising

let be your joy from me.
