The Hammock by David Lowry

With sensuous cords suspended
between heaven and earth,
A nylon hammock generously supports
all, races, colours and creeds.


Guilty pleasures are carefully balanced
during a rendezvous of
stolen moments and secret escapes.


Ideas are born
in this cocooning nexus, and
work is accomplished from
a place of succour and rest.


A gentle swaying
calms the mind and
brings life into balance once more.

David Lowry
