A Poem a Day (284): Will you?

 

I’ve posted this one on JD Mader’s writing website, Unemployed Imagination, for 2minutesgo. Get, set, write! Head over to his place to read, write and comment… http://www.jdmader.com/2020/10/2-minutes-go_23.html

 

Will you?

Will you follow my lead through
the wild streets and fields
where gold light once spilled,
confidence your true shield?

Will you dance amongst the barley
full grown, heady in still breeze,
as the nights draw out with ease
and we grow older as you tease?

Our hearts, they feel no shame
in our fight against Time,
the Father we all hope to tame,
challenged in the flip of a dime.

These waxing candles will blow out
when the shorn fields fall fallow
and we have no passion left to follow,
but for now there is time to borrow.
