Poem

Passages

I once loved a lad of twenty 

We’d climb the hills with tall blades of grass so plenty 

Through wispy fields we would run so fast

The golden splendor of our youth 

With no end, no last


I once loved a fellow of forty and five 

We’d walk the shores hand in hand 

Feeling content and so alive 

Through sun kissed days and starry nights 

So much ahead with no known sorrow in sight 



I once loved a man of eighty and four 

We’d sit and talk and laugh and talk some more 

The twilight of life intrepid we go with no delusions 

Reflection brings such peace if not only a conclusion 


Alone I sit thinking of days of yore

Alas I have loved and love no more
