Sixty Years Is Quite a Lengthy Stroll

Hear me read the poem:
As a .wav file
As an MP3 file

Alpha List

Sixty years is quite a lengthy stroll
In gardens both exotic and familiar.
Xylophones run faintly with the wind,
Tinkling across from far Sicilia,
Yearning for some long-accomplished goal.

Years like leaves whisper in the wind,
Each both intimate and unfamiliar,
As hand-in-hand in shade we peaceful stroll,
Remembering the heat of far Sicilia
Sighing 'cross some long-forgotten goal.
