Days Of Yesteryear.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Days Of Yesteryear....
From a distance I was looking at the horizon
of you I heard not a thing, of the Everglades, a yes!
like someone who was splashing in the water
and was looking forward anxiously
and quay anchorage in green waters
so you were not blind; - just under the veils
for you, God saved the earth
just to let you stay alive,
and Zeus turned out to be one spitting tent,
only for you, and Zephyr showed himself especially for you
on the shore of darkness, he waited for you
ripples in the cloudy water could be seen
which began slowly on to grow
and quay anchorage was nowhere to find,
just crocodile tears were everywhere
a budding love had arisen at midnight
and the awful view disappeared, as you expected
the dark night took its place
and presented the loveliest morning glow
God has chosen you and you are not lost
even the mockingbird made a deep bow for you
you only don't know, my love
you are God's child so mild….
MyNOTE:
The Everglades, great waters in Florida, the USA, especially the home for crocodiles, but odd enough I noticed that men have built their houses
nearby the croc's homes.
