(EVAPORATED AND CONDENSED) A SENRYU
THE MUSIC... IF YOU DON'T OVERSTAND YOU MUST UNDERSTAND
Nyabinghi Riddim - Busy Signal & Cobra - Cry Out: http://youtu.be/LJjQLfdH9hs

(A DRINK)
Man standing in stream
He sips of her existence
She is refreshing

(OF YOUTH)
Man seeks the fount youth
The days grow shorter each year
His hair becomes winter

(FLEETING)
He walks as young cub
He fights as fierce mighty lion
He is cast aside

(HE ROARS)
His roar leaves the clouds
Thunder pulsing subsonic
His voice a warning

(HE WHISPERS)
The queen stands transfixed
A swirl of leaves from his passing
His whisper the breeze

(SHE HEARS)
She is the earth pure
Born of his love and lust
They are one yet two

(THE SUMMATION)
Their roots dig deep
They standing strong become many
Mathematically

(THEY MOURN)
They cry together
So many gone into the ground
This was paradise
