BEMOANING THE ONSET OF FALL

Folder: 
JOURNAL #19

beloved and bountiful crescent sun

like bright summer breezes blowing by

always attempt to tide death over

with your generous light

flowing ever freely across time

to warm the barren moment of such

universal grieving

when we cry

the Lord counts our tears

and gently returns each one

to the ocean's massive bowls

for all future's safe keeping

the salt protects such spirited waters

from vile oceanic thieves

but not as well as the earth would like...........

(Dec. 31, 1998)
