throwing the beautiful wishes away
they sped on
but some more carefully, slowly
turned away considering that it
takes a lifetime perhaps to
see the clouds
the way some people
used to see Europe
(you know, the Grand Tour)
hand coloured as they might have been
by God
they were my own soul chimed
and rose on rose of the postal cards
He sent while He was away
oh generations say
or said
all other things being dead here
without Him near.
