Amsterdam wears <br />its Autumn <br /> <br />sunshine <br />lightly & as delicately <br /> <br />as Time-now <br />& Time-gone <br /> <br />exists <br />in the same moment <br /> <br />that the leaves <br />(in slow motion) <br /> <br />fall from trees. <br /> <br />Birdsong & Dutch <br />laughter <br /> <br />stitching together <br />a tapestry of voices <br /> <br />even the houses <br />have their say <br /> <br />as we <br />held in Time's <br /> <br />strange discourse <br /> <br />listen closely <br />with every atom <br /> <br />of our <br />being <br /> <br />as the day <br />fades into night <br /> <br />& lights <br />(and the reflection) <br />of lights <br /> <br />lose themselves <br />in the stillness <br /> <br />of canal <br />& canals <br /> <br />footfall <br />...footfalls.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/walking-through-history/
