Contemplation of Time

Memories of a forgetful mind,

Images passing by

Reveal a fear within his heart.

Fright of the forward moving hands

That embrace all only to destroy.

 

An octogenarian sitting in a porch,

The struggles of his fight,

Clearly visible on his trench filled face.

His body, flimsy and tire,

Waiting for the Visitor he does not desire.
