Old Man Figure I Saw You On The Cliff Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Old man
Figure
I saw you on the cliff
Before
The break of day
Before
The smiles of Dawn
I
Saw you
I saw you
Standing
Standing
In
The
Frost
Of
Chill airs
And
Clouds
Where
Hope
Was
Ever-dim - now
The smiles of Dawn
Are passed too and
Returns
The drear of day
Again
I see you move
Then
Go
Walk
Slow
Then
Beyond and
Under
A ridge-line of rock
Fade.
So fade we
Too
It be a matter
Of time,
Yes,
A matter of time, my Monsignor
