POWER OF THE PAGE

The Hawk Portico 12:15pm

There is Power in My Writing

It is not just Black

in Black’s simplicity

My Writing is All Colours

It is Alarm-bell Red for Stopping

It is Blue for Breathing

The Sky

It is Yellow for The Sun

It is Silver for Humanity

There is Power in Humanity

We are no longer

weaklings

groping Our Way

to death

We are Above death

for I have seen

The Light

of

Our Night

and I believe

We Are Eternal
