Life’s Pleasures

I enjoy the sunshine

In early summertime

As I pass by tombs,

Stark and white

In the bright light.

 

I love the wild rain

And how it sound

Wraps me round

Calming my overheated brain.

 

Civilisation is an intricate clock.

But all clocks stop.

The dance ends my friend.

Listen to the rain

And watch the sun set.

Progress

As for me
I do not agree
With the inevitability
Of progress. Good poetry
And friends
Are ends
In themselves.
Give me
Oak bookshelves
Laden with treasures.
These are the pleasures
I would have
To make me glad.
