You are not another common man,
A mere name upon a roll,
No, you are a universe,
An eternally expanding soul.
...
Dare you, today, accompany me,
To the murky wells of memory,
It's said we don't remember pain,
We cannot, by recall, wince again,
...
We passed by the silent sliding curtain,
That closed the final act upon her life.
Through the florist’s dank smell of the courtyard,
And passed wilting flowers in rusty vases,
...
Wonder where your thoughts came from?
what you stand your suppositions on?
Did they creep in second hand,
Ready processed, tasteless, bland,
...
Beneath the autumn sky's cold clouds of metal,
Wind chased shadows evict a last clinging petal
From it's exhausted home.
To live on the streets,
...
Don’t forgot the countryside,
With your computer, career and chores.
It goes on in spite of you,
With schemes greater, and more intricate, than yours.
...
Let the children of your anxious mind,
In other arms their comfort find,
And come yourself away with me,
Beyond the palms and limpid sea.
...
I saw my latest grandchild yesterday
All lagoon eyes and fat little fingers
A perfect beauty in every way
What joy pure time, and chance can bring us.
...
I was once both lost for words,
And incapable of speech,
I had paucity of verbs,
And antonyms were out of reach.
...
Dare you, today, accompany me,
To the murky wells of memory,
It's said we don't remember pain,
We cannot, by recall, wince again,
...
