A Date With Emily

A Date With Emily 
David J Walker

I
Your World 

Your world on me unleashed 
Like violence in a summer storm 
Intensity Increased 
Yet survived to see the
Summer morn

Your world on me impale 
Classes of a certain kind
Amassed but always frail 
Fears a forum always find

Your world on me imposed
The child who drank each 
wondrous morn
As if it daily rose 
To take a graceful 
Playful form

II
Renewal 

How days composed of
Hours flow like
Rivers to the sea 
Are no less those
As gathered there an 
Oceans wave decree 

Then gathered in the air
As clouds 
Driven by the wind 
And rain upon the 
Earth below 
Renewal reborn again
	


III
Possibilities 

Awakened by the nightly dreams
Of possibilities 
Or what is real and how it seems 
To fade in frailties 

In fear of failure 
	Fear of plight
Fears of fading time
The years will pass 
In anxious mass
Of logics paradigm
