MEDITATION, by                    
First Line: My life is a web of grey
Last Line: In granite for my tomb.
Subject(s): Life


My life is a web of grey;
Occasionally there is a thread
of gold or blue woven into the pattern.
These are the days
that I have been serene -- content.
Then there are threads
of crimson and of rose.
These are the times that I have loved,
or met a friend again.

Around my life will be a border
of soft and somber green --
the turf above my grave.
The gold, the blue, the crimson and the rose --
the sky above me.
And then the grey again
In granite for my tomb.
