~* Man From Mountain *~

 

 

 

Diligent paws sifted through pain with light of moon
where ebony once elected to walk
but arched bridge
replicated rainbow masterpiece.

Time took tears in bottled breaths
so lungs could call name with voice
of many who were without sound.

    
They writhed to be healed, said 'Help'
    
in different languages but lived
    
to be touched~

              
by the hand of man from mountain.


     With cane he carried
     passion for nature, freedom within Spirit
     in pouch to unpollute the polluted
     hallowed ground before him.

Young and old accepted his gratitude,
followed tracks which took them
into private island, protected.

Poaching prevented, extermination ceased
to exist also endangered thrived
thanks to heart of man from mountain.

A few followers, believers in him,
his mission walked alongside Wisdom.

     They too writhed to be healed, said 'Help'
     in different languages but were loved
     also touched equally the same.

    Beautiful write. I loved the second stanza the best. It made me think of how people can write about the things they experience and even if they can't speak themselves, the words can speak for them. Good luck in the contest.
