Bring fire-flies to the wedding feast <br />Cast your spell on the rough-coat beast <br />In the quiet where the crickets sing <br />One word changes everything. <br /> <br />Let bluebirds climb the rose-red sky <br />Bring your best, now, don't be shy <br />In the quiet where the serpent sleeps <br />Worship love on bended knees <br /> <br />All you believed was first comes last <br />All you thought the present is past <br />In the quiet where you thought to end <br />The burning sun once more ascends.<br /><br />Brian Purdy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-at-sixty/
