WE ARE (1)

(Choreo-poem in Three Voices)

1st Voice:

We are people of a past

Beyond the past

When migrant clouds wailed from grief and joy

And their tears swelled the open sea

2nd Voice:

We are people of a past

Beyond the past

When seven sand grains touched the sea

And the earth loomed from a dodging distance

3rd Voice:

We are people of a past

Beyond the past

When a mighty Voice thundered

Across the sky

And mountains shook to their roots

1st Voice:

We flow like the river

From upland travails

To a sea quick with capering shoals

2nd Voice:

We fall like the rain

Softly, softly, through

The sieve of anxious skies

3rd Voice:

We are the plains

Melodious with the alluvial lyric

Of famous floods
