The Wonder of Life and Time

The Wonder Of Life and Time

by Lemuel R. Griffiths

It's night.., 
Some would say late., 
A revving car engine - 
I rise - view the horse power
At the gate.

From this window, 
I wonder, who perused this view before,
Where does he race off to now.., 
At such a speed.., 
What's the noisy human aiming for?

In three thousand years, 
The road won't be there.., 
The Victorian children who lived here once.., 
Now.., 
Share no more.., a care,

Where my beloved home.., now stands., 
A dinosaur breathed her last,
So won't anyone awake with me
And at least smile.., 
In the knowledge.., 
We're all.,  already passed.
