Eleven Hundred

Children sleep with sweet dreams of tomorrow;

Young couples hold hands and laugh without sorrow.

They live and they love, yet dwell in a future unseen.

Not now where old men live within their buried dreams.

Eleven hundred titles have now creased the fine lines of time.

Words cast in nary direction seeking their soul in soft rhyme.

I have loved and lost on these pages that nevermore carries hopes tune.

Yet now I understand…love, life and the end of all much too soon.

Eleven hundred titles times a thousand tears
