Snaps of Ghana by Van G. Garrett - pantoum #4

in a sun-lit spot
children recline
during a midday festival
exuberance has its place

children recline
tired and optimistic
exuberance has its place
young bones also grow weary

tired and optimistic
and all is well
young bones also grow weary
outstretched on the peaceful shore

and all is well
as music swells on the water-filled scape
outstretched on the peaceful shore
that sings with sounds unheard

as music swells on the water-filled scape
during a midday festival
that sings with sounds unheard
in a sun-lit spot
