To Tell the Truth, I Cannot Tell Your Age

Alpha List Number Poems About This Site Poems for Free Copyright by Nicholas Gordon

To tell the truth, I cannot tell your age, However many signs you see within; Internally, the clock is more precise, Rendering gradations far more nice Than those that are perceptible on skin. Years modify one's views more than one's cage. Now, for you, new melodies begin In a landscape lightly shadowed. New gardens assuage New sorrows, and peace comes on like rain. You spin Earth-wise in your dance towards paradise. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon. Free for personal or non-commercial use.
