grandmother poem

earth travails
why do you always stand there shivering
you are clear
a very remarkable history this is
awful truths these be
have you heard
at midnight
now for a brisk and cheerful fight
sweet splendor
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
a life on the ocean wave
why do
quietly, with reverance, in awe
when the hours of day are numbered
