Time Is Near
The leaves are falling,
birds in song
Memory lingers,
tomorrow gone
A promise spoken,
solemn vow
The present honored,
faith avowed
Years enlighten,
age sets in
Youth remembered,
deep within
Gates now beckon,
pearl’s endear
Hearts unburdened
—time is near
(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
