Spring time. Spring
and Fall - those are the hardest
times for to stay put. ...often
I have wondered if it were accident,
or not; those are the same times
the geese fly - the wind
blows.
...when a lone moon
floats high in the tattered cloud,
when a soft wind moans
through darkened branch
while somewhere, both
above - and below -
the lonely geese
cry
one to another
on their long
north,
south,
bound
runs.
Some lay the blame
at ancestry's feet, others
in an avoidant psychology -
or a nature needing to see
more than can ever be seen
from one place. Whatever
the reason you would blame,
these are the nights - more
than any other - that I want nothing
like I want to disappear
into the darkness
like a hundred times
before.
No destination -
but to see where
I end up this time...

Post a CommentThank you - "funny" thing about the end, it was completely unexpected or unintended - it was meant to have been different. Once more, the truth in Frost's words “I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering†become reality.
Nice ending! Good poem. :-)
