All poets cease their rhyme
In the fullness of time.
While others stop their run
‘Ere their time has come.

Conscious of the Wind
The wind sings
In the trees
As I,
Alone,
Pass by
Gravestone.
Or, on the busy thoroughfare,
Oft, he catches me unaware
With piles of fallen leaves
And great boughs brought low.
And then I know
That all must go.
Birds
An intense sense
Of my mortality
Comes to me
When I hear
The sweet clear
Song of birds.
Oft when caught
In useless thought
Or in empty words,
I hear the birds.
I see beauty.
And am free
As I Grow Older
As I grow older
A girl’s bare shoulder
And her sweet perfume
Still attracts. Distracts me.
But, when I hear
Her call me “Sir”,
Morning becomes late afternoon,
As night draws near.
Visit
She kept her heels on.
Then was gone.
Her scent lingered on fingers.
While she smiled
At an envelope
With no name
I See the Stopped Clock
I see the stopped clock
And feel the autumn chill.
This hot tea
Will
Warm me.
But all clocks
Stop
In the end,
My friend
Walking Through the Churchyard, in the Autumn Dark
Walking through the churchyard,
In the autumn dark
I missed your cry.
But you wait, somewhere
For those who dare,
(And those who dare not)
Think on the graveyard plot.
Young Women’s Feet
Young women’s feet
Kick autumn leaves.
Time deceives
Not. clocks
Do stop.
And once green leaves
Must turn to dust.
