Song Of The Nightingale

Once was a time
I was young enough,
to know and feel the truth

But the years laid claim
to my memory,
and the seeds to every fruit

Today is but folly,
tomorrow a fool,
the past like fine wine ages true

Where a nightingale sings
in my dreams unrestrained
-that song of myself ever new

(The New Room: November, 2020)
