Old Men's Dreams

Should I with you or Dolphin go
Under green water
To distant sea grotto
And marry Neptune's daughter?

Should I with you or Eagle fly
Over the mountain
Kiss the soft loins of sky
And drink from youth's fountain?

Should I in you or dreams believe
When the night falters
Shadowed by forest leaves
Where stood druids' altars?

Saffron and Silver
Like Love and Pity
Like Longing and Knowing
Go hand in hand

Love is deciding
It needs no pity
Pity deriding
The need for Love

Saffron and Silver
Like Love and Pity
Like Death and Dying
Luke-warm and cold
