Poem Roger
Intelligence and intuition, practicality
and
deep understanding of complexity in
a rarely
understood nature.
Emotions and a sensitivity that cut
deeply
into a ravine made of rock.
Very complex loved simplicity.
Distrust of people in a cold hard world.
Hatred, where there is no forgiveness,
too hard to understand.
A world of hardness and coldness slashing
through the innocent, the world in which
we live.
Trapped in a tide with people
who accept their lot is not all right.
Religion and science, how to find a
healthy balance.
Turning to perfectionism, looking for
acceptance
and understanding in a lonely world.
Perfectionism striven to greater heights,
the greater the achievement,
the more acceptance got lost.
Intelligence and heart rolled up into
one,
so rare, but it got lost waiting to
be found.
Serenity found in the rivers, mountains
and bush.
Beauty found in the voice of the Tui.
Trees lacking they didn't love.
The rivers didn't accept.
I won't ask why, because I know why.
The tunnel was too long and the portal
was blocked.
What can I say, we were so much like
each other.
I know that immense feeling in a world
that doesn't
know or understand who you really are.
I'm lost for words, I know the loneliness,
but I'll keep searching for the both
of us.
Return to the bush my brother, where
you found
beauty, a place absent of mankind.
Watch over the rivers and listen for
the call of the Tui.
You will find your paradise.
