Passing

The hoary frost of old age
Lays upon my head like a
Quiet Stone

Its heaviness crumbles
While I sleep
Little pieces of my
Life, drifting away into waves of
Salty Dreams

The Air I breathe
Lifts the skies from the Horizons
Holds them Still
The puddles undulating down the
Mountainsides

My arms wrapped
Around the Sun
Eclipsed Moon at
Midnight

Staring deeply into a
Black Universe
that ends along
the Silver Edges of an
Eternal Night
