Not for You

The Journals find their way,
 easy, inspired self delusional displays,
 one or two ,
 written most every day,
but as the months now years begin their exit call,
 the words flow more fluidly 
 than time alone can recall,
written down along line and page
 the secret refuge of mind sway
 left to random flutterings and utterings
 the missing points of this aging sage,
hide in the accumulated books
 shelved on dusty nooks
 of private enterprise without lie
 the wordings not for you.
