I faced my enemy br our eyes locked. br Skies darkened a raven cried. br br From brilliant white clouds br a rainbow touched somewhere. br Trumpets proclaimed new life. br br Cries heard tears flowed br feelings joyous anguish. br The cycle perpetuated. br br As in the womb. br New seed planted. br The farmer departs to dream. br br Winds gust strong. br Oars creak strain.
