       The Dross of Pathos

The grate of pathos makes for dross.
From gray of loss, to beds of moss.
Only time, can finish the plan.  
Fertile the moss, sweeten the man.

Spring has gone and December cold.
The fire old and does not hold.
Its embers stir. They sigh for care.
While slurs of ashes die of wear.

Small embers search in hope and cling,
New whorls of winds, another spring.
Another flight of fragiles dove,
A sometimes late and winter love.

I asks no kind or homage lift,
No dying kiss set me adrift.
It would a final gusty cry,      
Aye, one more, one more lusty try.

Although the fire fails of wear,
The mind, the mind, still echoes dare.

Seymour, I love this!

I asks no kind or homage lift,
No dying kiss set me adrift.
It would a final gusty cry,      
Aye, one more, one more lusty try.

And another, and another, and ... go for it!
