empty nests side-by-side

but winter came instead

In spirited life’s changing vibrant landscape,
the paved path along the contours of uncertainty,

Beset it seems on every side
Invasions perturbations in our lives
By order or by decree
Or by slight of propaganda

Whatever happened to the twelve o ‘clock rambler,

but ironclad ilk stubbornly remain,

Down until  the river ran red
And where the cobalt ribbons threaded
Skies with golden studs embedded,
Encrusting precious metals in my centrifugal head.
