Fifty-ninth autumn

All things irrevocable, every year, every hour.
All appeal a grovel that takes another minute down,
Another day, another dawn.
All regret of miniscule assistance.

The leaves on all the trees still green.
In the harbor of the early evening sky
They all sing the same song
And we listen without hearing

And the song bears no resistance.

    Nice to hear from you again, Jeff! I especially love the last line – it sure carries a lot of weight in its effortlessness.
