Time Is Near

September 9, 2019

The leaves are falling,

birds in song

Memory lingers,

tomorrow gone

A promise spoken,

solemn vow

The present honored,

faith avowed

Years enlighten,

age sets in

Youth remembered,

deep within

Gates now beckon,

pearl’s endear

Hearts unburdened

—time is near

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)
