Love in the eyes of death

by Keith D Allison

In the life of man
the circles
too long
too short

The crops in the field
begging for rain
others aching for the sun
does reaper smile at day end

the life of a life time ago
the heart lays empty
the picture is fading on wall
a young girl's smile glistens in the evenings light

The rocking chair creaks
the guitar strum it out
a song
that might have been

As life draws to a close

Yes, life, love, death, the sum of it all, one vast forever song. I can feel this. Thanks.
