When You Came

You came when I’m young no longer Blew like breeze of spring in my heart Bare tree couldn’t turn a singer For brown leaves broke music apart. With summer drizzle from the cloud You came when I’m young no longer My senile mind behind dry shroud Knew moist touch wouldn’t linger. My weak body won’t be stronger In hold of your youthful love, for You came when I’m young no longer I couldn’t respond to the lure. A bird you flew in my lone heart I knew you're mine, the sole bringer Of sweet dreams in green pasture, but You came when I’m young no longer. November 22, 2017. Form : Quatern.
