Old Writers

Old writers take their pen in hand

to share deep truths they understand;

like autumn colors bleeding red

and sunshine's warmth on graying heads.

Of how crisp snowflakes dust young hair

when winter glistens everywhere;

and how they've come to be beguiled

by coos and smiles from their grandchild.

When dawn is bathed in velvet spring,

wild geese on misty ponds take wing;

how Night Wind's robed in indigo;

with wisdom, their pen tells us so.

Low cadences and flow imbue

each line with drops of morning dew,

refreshing souls with sips of light ~

awakened whispers of the night.

Old writers take their pen in hand

and share deep truths they understand.
