To 0ur Dear Newtownites To Go- But Not To Old smiles fan newer die aiway Nor -'voiees flee Old hearts, loved fwell, though gone, still stay As long as fwe. Old things are young, 1hey'll ne-'ver fade For minds proteet Oblivion may not infvade For hearts rejeet. And why? I flung that one eternal why And chipped the keen eternal sky Till calm, it sparkled up a grave reply. The sky, I saw, held to his heart, a sea. His blue was there, cloud-twisted as in glee. His moods tossed there, the stifled and the free. He took me in to be a bit of blue I eyed our world and saw myself and you As life seemed clear and cool as bells and new. I saw us filed along in long parade Each one, before a mirror, jerked or swayed And vaguely saw the pictures that it made. Each sought his Future as he gazed ahead And yet the Past, behind him, had not fled But shined into the mirror's heart instead. Each mirror mused I'm Future of this one. And Haunted Past up as that Future's sun As if to say To do as has been done! Each man would peer across-a friendly whim- To see a neighbor's glassy through strangely dim Pale pictures of a Past still came to him. No mirror's story could we well erase Unless we crashed behind its wakeful face And passed from Future into darkened space. When this I'd seen, the sky smiled wise at me Then turned to peer into his mirror-sea To view his Past in his Futurity. Old plates, rharms, old books, old friends May have withdrawn And yet they're yours, for nothing ends At break of dawn. Old smiles, old tears, old dreams may hide -Not very far- One need not grip the sky as guide To had a star. DEMIE GENAITIS l 3 l Forget
