I Sigh
I sigh the passing of my age Each laugh and tear upon my page The passing of reality The hunt for our veracity
I searched through all the metaphors The symbols and excelsior’s The warmth of human coexist Horizons and the magic mist
I questioned till the question wore And would not stay my mind of store It turned to dust before my eyes And blows within the winds comply
But weather I accept or not Is non-essential to the plot It is but minuscule the change Beyond my comprehends arrange
And though it terminates with me It does begin again with thee.

imprint of footsteps are never gone... they just fall beneath another's song while dust is dust that fills the ages still, they lend new grist to sages...

You are wiser and warmer than ever before... Good Sunday morning, Our Sy!

Seymour, a wonderful write, I often sigh as well, but then, others will come, may we all not be forgotten and the dust that be us, be watered with the thoughts of our children. Great to see you here my friend, take care and be well.
Sincerely Rick

I do so love the "symbols and excelsior’s" of your poetry. Love the tender humility of this one Sybabes...and that closing couplet make me Sy-sigh. 
*ww*

I would love to live as a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.

Oh, good morning, Sweet Sonneteer!
Your meter was impeccable, your message understood, and you deserve many an honour for the wisdom of your age upon the page.

Sir Sigh..(Sy)...even after the pillar has fallen, the dust will settle gently on the grounds...brushing from the earth your words which shall rest within us forever. Never fear kind sir...never fear.
