SELIGOR'S
CASTLE
ONE OF
THE MOST FUN FILLED CASTLE ON THE
NET Just one of the wonderful new
poems from Pete
"Willowdown" Crossland
A young girl picking
flowers.
A young girl picking
flowers
does not count the
hours
- to her the passing
minutes
have no end or
limit...
But in the bank and in the
church
the minutes and the hours
lurch
and 'though he tries, the priest
or clerk
cannot make time flow in
reverse.
At bus-stops and train
stations
throughout Time's censused
nations,
young children skip and pass
between
the prison bars of Time's
regime;
a young boy has no
notion
of life's grim forward
motion
but gaily plays with golden
things
within the court of deathless
Kings. Yet Time is father to the
man
and holds life's key and
masterplan
- or so we trust and so we
hope,
else all men's lives are but a
joke.
But what grown man cannot but
dream
of freedom from Time's dull
regime?
and fondly he can still
recall
the wooden toy and golden
ball...
What fortune can such treasure
buy?
Let merchant risk his soul to
try
- his toil and effort will not
yield
a day's release from Time's grey
fields.
Yet, penniless, the children
play
and own the world and all the
day.
The boy that climbs the chestnut
tree
partakes of some great
Mystery
and the young girl with her
flowers
is Queen of all the passing
hours!
From the pen of the
Wonderful "Willowdown"
