Tried to align


 Tried to align

John Clare Stokes


The memory of the entering

The cool steps remaining

Offering a higher view

Peering straight through

From the top step

I could see clearly

Nothing at all had changed

Oh some now grown trees

Had rearranged the living

Space

But it was all in place

I stepped down

And quietly left them

Alone.


With a view


Pa must of been the last

To have the view

After he was gone

The porch had no reason

For holding on

So it too went with Pa.
