I keep asking myself-was it real
The Time that you and I were together
Or was it merely a quirky gambit of Fate
...
There was a fragrance in the air.
Always - when you were there.
Now I breathe to seek and find
A whiff recessed deep in my mind.
...
Oh Lord, Your Child needs now an heir,
Just one bright star to guide us where
Wise men gather, not mere fools
Content just being the Devil's tools.
...
I look at you and I wonder
Do you see what I see?
Do the echoes of my thoughts
Resound in your consciousness?
...
AS 70 NEARS
I think it's time to now sit back
And stop searching for another day
...
Would I that time and space would cease
And emotions spent from their bond release
This spirit to roam in realms unknown
Light as a star, soft as the breeze
...
As the shadows lengthen on the sleeping tree
Nor you nor I know what the morrow'll be,
Bear with me - this verse'll the chapter close
Indulge one last time a poet's fancy.
...
