        Late-Summer Sunset
      (partings and passages)

With the last glimmering glimpse
of sunset cloud-orphans
dancing through an endless sky,
in the thunderous calm
just before twilight,
when even these hills
grieve the late Summer’s passing,
and this lake becomes a
   clear-bright mirror
of yesterday’s dreams
and tomorrow’s uncertainties,
we seek both human and Time’s
   forgiveness
for all that ‘should have been’,
and I remember your ‘final-
   parting’ thought:
“Follow only the Autumn wind,
  for it shall always ‘know’...
  so much more than we!”
                 ~

This timeless write is so much more than the sum of all its words, Poet. The power and truth contained within, so beautifully expressed, brings tears when re-read.
