What did I see?
When we say “I saw it!”,Perhaps we ought to say,We glanced at an imageBefore we looked away.When you draw you really look,The right shape to defineAnd so with Nature, really lookThe great beauty there to find.So in your Explorations,Look underneath the stone,In between the grassesFor they are not aloneHundreds of little creaturesEach with a life …
With deep regret.
Once again we mourn, the loss of a great soulWhose unselfish life was ended, by a selfish devoteeUnknown, his motivation, or his intended goal,But by his mindless violence, he killed a great MP.
