Epitaph

      Epitaph


A poem forms a universe

within the reader's mind,

totality in metered verse,

infinity defined.


A poet gives his soul away

in portions he decides

with thoughts that ebb and flow to play

emotions like the tides.


He writes of love and other things

for all the world to see,

of broken hearts and Angel's wings

he lost and found at sea,


of parenthood and common sense,

of brothers at "The Wall",

revisiting their innocence

and other ports of call.


An honest bard, he re-ignites

the glaring torch of truth.

With wells of bitter ink he writes

the epitaph of youth.
