A South African song


**********************************


 


"Hour At Four"


 


At this late hour at four


Came a voice of gladness and a smile


To her… who


The love of nature holds dear


A healing that steals away


The sharpness of her pain


O’ Mother ocean took away once more


Her melancholy…in the morning hour at four


It made her shudder and sick at heart


When all her world of beauty fell apart


But from the murmuring of her blue waters


Came calmness along


For she now hear the wind laughing


For she can hear the wind


Murmur a beautiful song


Of forbidden bounds no more


She speak upon this hour of four


A loud crash and roar


As she falls upon my shore


And in calmness brush her shoulder


Upon bare feet so cold


Like the bareness of her soul


At the morning hour at four

Mother Ocean is truly your muse, Tinka.

Very intriguing poem, and I bet Julie on the Mod Squad would like it, too!

PS I really like that music.

Four square and bare, her cold feet touch the shore. I like it, Tinka.
