so shall i

age is weightless but time is heavy

i'll trim the petals

leave the thorns alone

doubt the being of was

until tomorrow replaces now

light the candles

with long slender sticks

light the candles

and set them adrift

bow your head in silence

for the elder has passed

show that grace has granted

in respect of briefest existence

your age won't matter

i'll still take you bread

in the morning

i will pour your coffee

and bring it to you

as you wait

as you wait

so shall i
