Jessamyn's Song

“Jessamyn’s Song” is an early poem of mine that I started around age 14 and was substantially complete by age 16. 

Jessamyn's Song (circa age 14-16)
by Michael R. Burch

There are meadows heathered with thoughts of you,
where the honeysuckle winds
in fragrant, tangled vines
down to the water's edge.

Through the wind-bent grass
               I watch time pass
slow with the dying day
on its lolling, rolling way ...
And I know you’ll soon be mine.
