When the ocean rose
they danced mad in the flood.
When the wind took the trees
They crawled up the broken branches and howled.
When the mountains fell
they kicked at the rubble.
They put their ear to the sea and heard the silence
Because the blue whales sing no more.
She stands with you
The white dress stained with blood of the troubled world
When the marching boots grow loud.
Stands with you
Says time is change
Some topsy-turvy leap
Through reason and pain
To the moment.
Fingers
Lips
Rise.
Breath
Touch
Peace.
