In a village of humanity where the children all grow old
double-sided rainbows weren’t expected every day
but suddenly in awe the inhabitants looked up
and radiated energy pulled the sky down to ground.
(Picture by Frank Bennett, New Zealand)
Blanketed in blue and shades of other hues
the energy confined boiled over into crime
and the mothers, fathers, children,
as one became unglued
from a value system and the merit of kinship.
Up and out they struggled one by one alone to find
the earth no longer stable had become a rolling ball
from which they fell and tumbled into a foreign mode.
In adjusting to the temperature and the intensity of change
love became as water free flowing down a drain
and collecting in deep pools beneath the earth’s crust.
There it bubbled, boiled, and today it bubbles, boils,
denied full release into the atmosphere
but through the hues of sky and me it erupts occasionally
and sends boulders, pebbles, rocks, flying everywhere.
Catch them … but they can’t
for love and foreign modes
are and will remain
incompatible!

The world IS upside down. What once was right is wrong, what once was taboo is now a cultural evolution, what once was unspoken is now taught to our children as tolerant behavior. Great write Helen.
