Time’s an Ancient River,
Flowing by my door —
Bringing friends, plus odds & ends,
Like wishes, fish & chores.
Einstein & Newton
(Often swimming by)
Tease protons & electrons,
Bumble-bees & flies.
But in the distant future
Randomness of space,
Galaxies & black holes
Will spiral out of place.
Then my Ancient River,
Dried up into dust,
Reveals her under-belly
Of skeletons & rust.
Goodbye, dearest River …
Thank you for the times,
You brought to me, like tender leaves,
Of poetry & rhymes.
