Poems inspired in Jamaica


Dawn
Copyright (c) 2013 Helen Tinsley

first light/dawning day
ancestral energy infusing the air
ancients roaring with each crested wave
awaiting the summon - alert for the call
present
we are here
announcing your sons & daughters have arrived
asking your permission we begin
giving honor & respect
on tongues from lands of different waters
spirits of long ago uplifted
we give thanks
collective voices remember

island breezes
rastaman proudly rides
strong stallion
into
salted waters
