Hiking at these pines
With midnight’s cool breeze
Time’s slow sullen figure
Now right beside me
__________________________
Leafs they blow gently
Drifting off into sky
Rocks seek out rest
Where river flows by
_________________________
Cardinals and robins
Great horizons they seek
Deep below dank earth
Life’s bounty to keep
__________________________
My eyes growing heavy
Time offers a bed
On mossy ledge
What fun we had
It wasn’t so bad
