teacher poem

that strange companion came on shuffling feet
i have seen the proudest stars
she limps with halting painful pace
on and on
when the veil from the eyes is lifted
when the wind works against us in the dark
see the tentative
still her gray rocks tower above the sea
these hearts were woven of human joys and cares
last midnight
have you seen walking through the village
i bid them all farewell
stay no more
for i was a gaunt, grave councillor
