Across a Field of Lilacs Spread Across a field of lilacs spread the dawning of the day I thought that I would wake up dead then flit, on air, away. But, alas, I found that I could still the morning see in spite of slip of snow a-fly in mirror there I be. The letters in the box did still my name quite bear escaping them, like sly of fox, was not the fate I’d wear. The bills did come, I did not go, they echoed hard my name. No matter what I’d prayed just so their levels held the same. The months had come, the months had gone, the weeks had multiplied, and I did continue on no matter how I’d tried. The spending and the living did pile upon the crest of mountains high and valleys low laid heavy on my chest. Across a field of lilacs spread the dawning of the day I thought that I would wake up dead but seems I’m here to stay. So buckle down, is what I must to combat the living score and find a way for faith and trust to do my living more. Across a field of lilacs spread a joyous scent of bloom I’ll seek a path to give my head and to my living...room. ©December 8, 2001 (above not autobigraphical, yet I think we all experience elements of the feelings herein, at times.) Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
