graduation poem

i am in love with high far-seeing places
among the mountains i wandered
look out upon the stars, my love
sitting in his rocker waiting for your tea
this is the song of youth
rocked in the cradle of the deep
all down the years
i stood
it was the autumn of the year
why do you always stand there shivering
the darkness rolls upward
into the silent land
the arches of the red bridge
