retirement poem

simplicity
up from the south at break of day
she was a beauty in the days
with the meek, brown eyes
i have heard them in the night
calm as that second summer
daughter, thou art come to die
full of tears
see, they return
the single clenched fist lifted and ready
leave the lovely words unsaid
i walk down the garden paths
