Hi

Here is a short poem I wrote, please feel free to comment...

______________

Waiting to die while walking in a yard
Hands in pockets
The old mans body is stiff
Heavy legs
Slow step after slow step
Familiar sights catch his attention
Renewed interest
Stillness in the day
Retired from life
Life already lived
Re-lived in memory
As far as memory serves

Is it peace or boredom that lives in the old mans staps?

Is it love or regret that stands with images of yesterdays?

The young man sits and watches the old man walking in the yard
Hands in pockets
The old mans body is stiff
A mystery in an old grey suit
History in human form
The young man cant decipher
The image of the old man walking in the yard
