Rocking Away
leaves withered and grew as the old man sat,
in his wooden rocking chair gently swaying,
waiting for the day to come,
people come to chat and sit,
while he spoke of a better day to come,
and the day came and felt no better or worse,
he rocked and pondered and puffed a pipe,
missing yesterday.
