Poem 16 - The Voices

Voices


I am the leaves that grew from the tree
I am the river that grew from the rain
I am the mountain that grew from the rock
I am the waves which grew from the sea

I am the sea that poured through your hands
I am the tree that grew in your bones
I am the rain that washed your heart
I am the rock that splintered your lands

I am the land that is covered with sea
I am the bones that are carved from rain
I am the heart that is chipped from rock
I am the hands that shatter the tree



Sally Douglas
