Silence Solar (Photo by Dr. T.P. Wilkinson)
the fuel
of growth
in firs and fossils
found,
the myths
of growth
in fables and fantasy
abound,
do not
replace the love
once found
in a century past
where maturity
sensibly
let passion last,
in silence solar
exploding glow
Still the foolish
lightly frightened
blind belief
but called enlightened
faces facetiously
would scorch
the sun to shade
in vanity’s torch
Wealth and fame
from ashes taken
All this for love
must be forsaken.
