retirement poem

i never knew the earth had so much gold
when i looked into your eyes
simplicity
why then, must we see?
my soul goes clad in gorgeous things
i have heard that a certain princess
all quiet along the potomac
all down the years
since i have felt the sense of death
she limps with halting painful pace
her face is fair and smooth and fine
in the sphere
have you heard
