a simple life



life and order painted

in a war cemetery

is not what i sought

after for my life



but a little brook

rolling over a rock

the hardened pain

of loveless years



that i may sit still

and listen to music

in the running water

and in the wailing



of the swaying perches

the choice of magpies

and the plainer raven

far from hustle of the town
