Evergreen
Time will fly, or mouth a crooning dirge,
Across the sweep of ancient worlds,
Visioned by the few who see;
Myth and magic conjure sights
And sounds of a dimension lost
Where all creation longs to be.
Time will flit, or haul a scythe
About the mind in measured drag
To mark us of it's ruling ways;
Evangelising nature's cause
With business calm and resolute,
Setting seal on all our days.
Trees will grow and tower on,
Magnificent of bough and leaf,
Enduring of the modern spleen;
Love be ours, held close and dear
In mystic wood and verdant glade,
In permanence, be evergreen...
