Begotten Scion
Woman
Born of Earth
Clothed in silken leaves
And velvety petals
Mother Nature
Embraces the
Man
Born of Space
Adorned in white robe
Forever bearing
The hour glass
Father Time
A kiss of ages
A love in tempest
Begetting scion
Spawning their offspring
Breath from Mother
Mortality from Father
He dons the scythe
Clad in black robe
Hood pulled over
Grinning skull
What shall we call him
Father times son
Mother Nature’s child
There is only one name fitting
This Grim Reaper…
…Death!

AUTHORThank you again, Colin. I think you are possibly the most generous commenter on HP. I appreciate your visits and your kind words very much!
Well Sir Wayne it's truly the great ones who can develop, cultivate and express their own language - and that truly makes you then - one of the great ones here in Hubland - and the fact that you can explore many different moods, genres and poetic styles makes you extremely versatile as well. You are in a class of your very own.

Van the Man is still playing - it's a great album from 2002 called Down the Road
