An Ode to My Memories


A murder of crows gathers on branches
of the stately sycamore tree replacing

its fallen leaves. A black cawing swarm
then takes flight into overcast skies of gray.

Another winter is on its way. And a thought
arises in me nearing my seventy-second

year—I hope and pray I shall not wander
into the coming seasons, however many

they may be, grieving the loss of cherished
memories such as these.
