IN FOLDS OF BLACK VELVET

I look for the shadows of the day A place to steal myself away Shroud my heart and mind Just for a while In folds of black velvet. You see A death has visited this house The way of Nature this An ultimate expectation Yes Beyond our knowing. Although some years ago Still Not to my understanding. Strange This “dying thing” For soon it comes to me And now I need to see Before my own going.

a poem well written freind from heart from mind spiritual in delving what has come what shall be at the door poised from shadow falling in sunlight falling out

Thanks again, Richard

J.B. Longo-Geremia Never thought of it that way but "haunting" is an excellent description. Joe
