Darken Lightly, the Bitter Harvest
Darken Lightly, The Bitter Harvest
Time shadows slip right on by
thunder in this cloudless sky
Once dreams did vividly abound
now this horror, no happy sound
Yester years, life gave it all
regret was never the only call
Days flew by with a certain feel
the good life on a time wheel
Such before death darkly came
its card with your sweet name
Sweet your memories truly are
still worshipping you from afar
This bitter harvest eats my soul
leaves me with this empty "living bowl"
Robert J. Lindley
