How quiet are the closing moments
of Winter
Its final lingering shadow
passing over your regret
Days lengthen into night,
returning Blackbirds a good tiding
What ended in shades of red and brown
—beginning once again
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
One More Smile
Have I lived long enough,
have I said what I came to say
Is my spirit now to rest,
has the toll-way back been paid
Have I lived long enough,
being willful, righting wrongs
A last heartache twice forgiven
—one more smile before I’m gone
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
