My Winter Home
The turbulent sea rose and fell
A symphony on the sullen shore
The moon came out cold and full
The funeral pyre died in the distance.
The summer came and went
Leaving me in the cold
I could feel the aching in my bones
I could feel the winter's chill.
I walked away in silence
To sit by an old oak tree
The whispers in the night
Called out to me.
The voices calling from the night
Silence echos from the breeze
I watched the branches dance
Up high in the trees.
I close my eyes and think
Of a time that seemed so long ago
A time when I was young
A time of ageless innocence.
Now I open my eyes to see
A tombstone on the ocean shore
And now I realize I am sleeping
In My Winter Home.

GROWING OLD
Growing old
No longer run
Legs are done
Gone the fun
Can not climb
Sit and whine
Life's unkind
To old to work
Body does

Do not fear me, I am not the enemy;
do not scorn me, I am not your foe.
Yes, I have touched you -
left my caress
