Thoughts In Silence

The reaper sows and what’s forgotten 
Is left exposed; completely rotten
The beggar begs and as he sleeps
Dreams of silver and gold-trimmed sheets

I’m taken back to the place where once
A zephyr sang unto a dunce
And with his sly and stalling eye
He fell in love with the deep blue sky
