"The Age of Reason"

Soon as the wind is cold
You'll turn your head around,
Tear the mannered fold
and leave without a sound.

I would not be your tongue
Nor bind you like a mask
But while we are both young
Respond to what I ask.

Share the starling's eye,
understand the loon,
feel the salmon's cry,
Respect the silent moon.

Harbor outlaw schemes,
Ignore the common weal,
Live beyond your dreams,
Never salute of kneel.

Daniel J. Langton
