copywrite 1998, O'Dwyer
The Past
memories, like shad
swim beneath the wake of life
in time's dark river
mortal man's great king
left behind his worldly throne
for a rat's one flea
in another time
I keen my eyes to look back
and see the future
the world seen clearly
through the looking glass of time
is made of circles
1998 - April
The Present
we can only see
as far as the horizon
when our feet stand still
sun, a tree, a brook
scintillate, and make shadow
to sooth my dry soul
dark, furrowed new ground
rain beguiles each sodden trench
and lights my pathway
