Viv

Viv for cricketer, Vivian Richards 2002 poster 'Like the sun rising and setting Like the thunderous roar of a bull rhino Like the sleek, quick grace of a gazelle, The player springs into the eye And lights the world with fires Of a million dreams, a million aspirations. The batsman - hero climbs the skies, Strikes the earth - ball for six And the landscape rolls with the ecstasy of the magic play. Through the covers, the warrior thrusts a majestic cut Lighting the day with runs As bodies reel and tumble, Hands clap, eyes water And hearts move inside out. The volcano erupts! Blows the game apart. 'Faustin Charles Reprinted by permission of the author
