Have The Dense Years Told Any Truth? Poem by Cody Allan Turner

Have the dense years told any truth?
True, I see life in each strand of hair
Though gray, still bright from the stars of youth
Still whispering humanities everlasting prayer.

It is your beauty that has conquered age
A smile that set soul free
Now but only one wish remains
May it be your eyes, the last sight I see.

And here in the final field
Lying on memories blades of grass
United by love’s glory
I know not if they have told any truth
Though I know the years have told a story.
