Renewal

 

Renewal

So long with hate

So tired, its load

Drag it round like fate

Blame the toads

 

Lie and lay

Light to light too light to dig

Dig my own grave today

See if I still fit

 

Familiar with its shame

Shame waves over errors

Thank them all for the blame

Never learnt from Terrors.

 

Dig again

Dig with the pen

A father, son, husband and friend.

Good enough. TEN.

 

To stand in the light and pass.

Pass. Pass away.

Pass to me. Class.

Let me play

 

To begin, like sand

Dragged out, by the tide.

Pressed down by land

Become rock, wide

 

That no waves can hurt?

Worn by time and tide

Eventually to give,

Sand again.
