Timeless

Standing close I feel the wind against this frigid sky,

I kick off my shoes, curl on the couch, with me, myself and I.

With lemon tea, a well-read book, I grab my warm afghan,

And nestle beneath the crocheted yarn and think about this man who is timeless.

Timeless as the autumn leaves which dance upon the foliage.

Like summer rain which grows the grain and tulips in the spillage.

Like music, like the painters brush which strokes his work of art,

As Beethoven and Chopin who plays upon the heart, this man is timeless.
