Untitled | Poem

 
good-bye old friends
fair o the weather
the time has passed
we danced it well
in our broken way we loved too surely
our dreams
now broken empty
hush o hush
'tis sad and done
there was joy
belly laughter
skip the rope and pass the mustard
the bough broke
we all fell down
love we leave to branches twining
