Let’s Walk Together

 Let’s Walk Together

 

 

Let’s walk together

 

you and I

 

so we can find

 

a road

 

that gives peace

 

to both our souls.

 

Just yesterday

 

I spoke of you,

 

Love

 

and my heart requested

 

that we walk together

 

on that white

 

and ancient  road ,

 

that will surely

 

calm and ease us.

 

Come now if you can

 

Love,

 

So we can walk together

 

always

 

on a road that has no forks

 

or  parting of the ways,

 

where we can talk

 

and walk together always.

 

Let’s walk together

 

Love

 

so that we inherit wings

 

both you and I ,

 

to fly

 

with all our steps

 

and prayers

 

up

 

into heaven.

Tribute to Irving Layton

Irving

Irving,
I just read your verse.
Where are you
composing now?
Your words remain
and echo on the page .
What fine voice,
and what fine mind,
and what a heart
worthy of a
pharaoh or a king .
That fine voice,
that fine mind,
and the passion
In your heart,
with all its’ many lovers,
resided in
an old age home,
in a mental haze,
In your final days .
I can only hope
you had a garden
In the sun
there .
