I Do Pity You
Have you never shared the seductive charms
of a cool spring night under moons full glare
Folded in the warmth of a lover’s arms
basking in fire light as bold passions flare
Or felt the coolness of newly turned soil,
had the smell of fresh mown hay in your nose
Felt your imagination start to boil;
when feeling mud squishing between bare toes
If you have never watched a summer’s day
slip east to west across an open sky
While sitting in the shade of an oak tree
letting both time and caring pass you by
Have you ever witnessed October’s breath
shake hoarfrost covered blades of yellow grass
Or place a rainbow in each speck of ice!
that clings to hope upon the window’s glass
Never seen a blanket of winter’s snow
mound on leafless trees and frozen fence rail
Every bush and fern reflecting the moon
as a silent wind slides across the dale
