STILL, AT 61
(about Harrison P., 61, Blessings, CT, USA)

He still knows the world
wakes up each moment.
He still wants to toil
in the fields of books,
to rest in the green grass
of good ideas,
to see dawn
shake out its hair over the sea,
to help himself
to whole hours of happiness.
He still wants to feel
the freedom of words
waving their arms as he writes them,
of poems sailing somewhere like ships,
of his honey
holding him in her arms.
