Someday late or soon
an ascendant pre-noon sun
will illumine a parched though grassy tomb-yard
scattered with roses withered,
withering or plastic,
and moss-matted, acorn raining oaks,
and all my loves, musings, and hates,
passions and conditions,
feverish nights and song-lit days
will in silence rest...
no more concerned
with what is worst or best:
all joys given to memory,
all pinings consigned to pine,
all worries sunk into
six feet of still serenity
someday late or soon

demure101about 11 years agovery evocative - and I love the return to the first line, coming full circle.
Desejoabout 11 years agoI love the line : all pinings consigned to pine and the tree imagery. This is very evocative- so much so that I do not think you actually needed to use the word tomb in the poem at all. I think the weakest line is " all joys given to memory" - it just doesn't make sense to me (whose memory?). Overall, I liked this very much.
