Now In Waning Light
Now In Waning Light
I take delight
in simple things
true to their nature
place and time
the gentle turn of an arc
worn in graceful symmetry
humble in origin
proud noble in design
of beauty
hidden in common forms
never at rest
in the unquiet soul
in signs symbols
etched in material forms
awaiting revelation
of curious impulse
in subtle songs
free of artifice mannerism and cliché
true to their intent in measure meter
refrain and rhyme
and what remains
when ephemera is eschewed
and subtle implication
resists the pull of convention
