sad poem

sing again the song you sung
leave the lovely words unsaid
from song and dream for ever gone
softly now the light of day
i saw the first pear
a sky that has never known sun, moon or stars
softly weeping
beneath the warrior's helm
all day to watch the blue wave curl and break
the shadows of the ships
to the passionate lover
among the smoke and fog of a december afternoon
eighty years have passed, and more
my son is dead and i am going blind
