Wings whisper through air
Black Kite shouts discordant scree
Fearful pigeons flap

A Present I Still Remember
I remember the litter before “Give a Hoot! Don’t Pollute!”
I remember the smog before the Clean Air Act
I remember it sung “the world is a ghetto” all the truer now
I remember the smog before the Clean Air Act
I remember it sung “the world is a ghetto” all the truer now
Left to wonder how so few can remember
From where we have come
To where we’ll return
And where we are stuck
Breathing
Held down
Choking smog
Escape delayed
Hours long
Choking smog
Escape delayed
Hours long
Runway clears
Now aloft
Miles high
Above the smog
Crisp blue sky
First in weeks
Smogless air
First I’ve breathed
Naught but the Light
In the darkness
Lay the deepest shadows
Where no light has fallen
For so many years
Lay the deepest shadows
Where no light has fallen
For so many years
I visit with them
Let the shadows
Fall under my light
Until they become known to me
Appreciate them for their wisdom
Thank them for their insight
Forgive them for their fears and distractions
Illumined, I see their purpose
Forbidden Smog
From Jingshan peak
They surveyed the world
From the heart
Of The Middle Kingdom
They surveyed the world
