He sits upon the ocean bluff staring out to sea. This old poet of many years lost in memory.
He remembers well, when as a lad, his sight was sharp and clear, but now his eyes are dull and sad and wet with salty tears.
His body once a sculptures dream is now bent low and frail, he struggles with each breath he takes, his skin is dry and pale.
Time has stolen all his dreams and robbed him of his power. Crushed and sifted all he was now death will soon devour.
If only time were not the thief its shown its self to be. There are stanzas yet to write metaphors still to bleed.
He watches now as ships sail past and children play and swim, lovers walk and stop to kiss seagulls chant their hymn.
"So much to see, much to be written," he whispers as shelved verses & the life he postponed screams "It's too late" death is the one thing that will not wait.

And you said that youre a tired Poet. Your poetry allows transports me that place or vision that you so articulately create Sas. That its hard to find just the right words to describe the feeling that your poems draws out. You are a true artiste in every single way and it has been a fond delight to experience your gift of writing Sas. Always.....M
