Pegasus sprung

Suddenly this poem

Sprung fully formed

From my head

Just as Pegasus

Opens his wings

My soul sings

Its homages and laments

To yesterday

Between these spaces of silence

The majesty and mystery of life

Brings

Wisdom to the soul that stood

So often sodden to the brim

Within the pool of its own tears

And there will be a way

Over all these years

To make some meaning of it all

Even as the late evening shadows grow

All around you

In your middle years

As you count the cost of what was lost

Considering well the spaces left

From which new life sprung

Knowing

Ahhh

This is why

It all came undone
