EVIL BLOWS THE WIND
THE RAGING, SAVAGE WIND-CRAZED SEA
LACERATES THE HAPLESS SHORE
CAUSING MAN AND BEAST TO FLEE
THE CARIBBEAN’S LETHAL ROAR.
THE WINDS OF DEATH CANNOT BE STOPPED
FROM BLOWING TERROR OE’R THE LAND
TO LET THE KINGS AND CAPTAINS KNOW
THAT NATURE’S STILL IN DARK COMMAND.

ONTARIO IN THE GOLDEN DAYS
A WHIFF OF A CHILL ON THE
EVENING BREEZE
MEANS SUMMER IS FADING
AWAY
A HINT OF GOLD HERE AND
THERE IN THE LEAVES
MEANS FALL IS NOW ON THE WAY
THE TREES WILL SOON BLAZE IN
THEIR GLORY
WHILE THE GLASSY LAKES MIRROR
IT ALL
WHEN I COME TO THE END OF LIFE’S
STORY
WHAT I’LL MISS MOST OF ALL IS THE
FALL
