Sonnet 1501:






Time - It Stands to Reason


The mighty oak stands because it is old
Or - is it old because it stands alone
Against the storms of ice and bitter cold
Surviving; droughts and the river banks thrown
Over by raging floods;  bite of stihl ’s teeth.


It stands to reason that the tree survives
Beyond time and grace of generations
That pervade unto the skies above reach
And effuse into tales of the long lives
That visited vowing affirmations


As forever lovers - engraving each
Other’s name “until death do part us ‘neath”.


For everything there is a time; season
That transcends the oak...  it stands to reason.
