The Olde Man (Kyrielle style)

The ancient man sat still and quiet
Smiles as he watches birds in flight
His feathered friends flying from sight!
Heavily creased face, olde all right...
Blue eyes cloudy with age -- poor sight,
Calloused hands so rough, soft tonight...
Memories are sweet with delight!
Heavily creased face, olde all right...
His desk shrouded in candle light
Paper and pens stored for the night.
A far-away look, his eyes bright!
Heavily creased face, olde all right...
His stories always loved by all
Tomorrow, more Life he unfolds
