About So Small a Thing
(from The Sound of Poetry)

It seems
So small a thing to say,
Good bye, behind
So great a thing to hold.
The countless words that stay unsaid
And thousand things untold
Go with me as I stay
Stay with you as you go.
But who can cry on a summers day,
Over so small a thing to say?
But as this noon to eave does dawn
And I alone still find you gone
So whispers sorrow to my soul
Of all unsaid and all untold
Over so small a thing to say
Good bye, on this
Sad summers day.

-Phillip J. Wilson
