“Obscure Mother Symbol” R.Allen
I love the nature of this world.
I can never go anywhere and forget it.
It is in me, in my blood, my bones, my soul;
I carry it with me
Forever.
Everything about myself., My body, my mind, my dreams,
They are also the children of the earth.
I will never die: because I am new with each
Child that is born.
I came of a melancholy folk;
I was born old.
I would stay if I were the last man on Earth.
I would wander to the Empty cities.
See still, empty walls, and blind windows.
See crumbling arches, and toppled pillars.
They hold a ghost of beauty and Magnificence.
Like a half remembered dream.
A dream a whole race once had.
I would go to the little Allen’s Chapel Church.
See The graveyard behind. I would find my family plot.
See the markers, my father, my Grandmother, uncles.
Hello Dad, Hello Granny.
Hundreds of years of men and women who had lived, worked ,
begotten, laughed, wept and died.
I would stay. The last man. When I die, no one to hold my hands: no one to close my eyes and lay me in the earth-the forests would grow over the land . Wild beast would nuzzle my bones.
I would know that. I would be tough enough to take it.
My body, my mind, my dreams
Children of the earth.
