October Rain Twilight, each bird, their goodnight song to sing Autumn’s last golden fingers in the west And in the purple sky, mute swan on wing Smell of bees wax polish and Sunday best The table grain, nurtured with love and care A cup put down to stain, don’t you dare Teak that shone, reflecting times long gone by My image there, I look, can only sigh Now light through stained glass, shines upon the grain Brass plaque and handles blemish in the rain And falling leaves to carpet the Church path Distant now the memory of your laugh And then we throw the dirt upon the grain Turn away to walk, in October rain MJH2012 |

Hmmm, Matter...it never dies...it only changes forms...it is the aspirations that are laid to rest. Super poem! |

gripping I had to read it more than once, because I couldn't let it go. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
