At the edge of worn paths

   AT THE EDGE OF WORN PATHS

                We would perish,
                if we were not perishing.
                Plutarch

Come, in your evening glow so lonely,
Embrace the autumn, let your feelings flow free –

For the quiet words that raindrops say,
The whispers of pines in their gentle sway;

For wind’s cool breath, like a lover’s caress,
Chilling the neck with a soft, sweet stress;

For the soft shudder of bushes that grieve,
For grasses bent low, as if to believe  –

They too shall be trampled, yet still they remain,
As if asking for pardon, for all of their pain…
