STANDING STILL

 

Almost motionless,

As the passing buses erase the wrinkles in my face

And the gloom that covered my eyes

But not the dreams.

 

The heroes of long ago stood gazing

And the fortress of freedom envelopes

The aura of a lost soul

But not a lost dream.

 

And the winds continue to bring chill

Crawling into the shoulder of an old jacket

And the closed fist inside the pocket

Bringing ice to the rosary and the coins

But not to the spirit.

 

Standing still

On a breezy afternoon

Looking for the sunset

And the memories.
