11 December 2025

 

Were there shadows under the poplars today

was the bed of copper dry

was the silver sun shining brightly

and were there  passersbby?


I missed your long limbed grace today

I missed the silver sun

I missed your wounded barks today

and now that day is done


will I see you tomorrow

under a brighter sky

oh shadows that reflect my sorrow

will your raise your branches high

and will your copper leaves be dry?
