A POINT OF VIEW, by                    
First Line: What shall I do / when you are gone?
Last Line: And the scent of rain.
Subject(s): Solitude; Loneliness


What shall I do
When you are gone?
Oh -- there will still be stars,
And a windy dawn --

I shall be lonely?
Yes -- but then
There will still be rhymes to make
And words to spin --

And the waning thrust
Of remembered pain
Shall be less at last than hills
And the scent of rain.
