Will There Be Another Poem by David Whalen

Will this be
The last Spring
I see?

Or will I enjoy
a few Springs
More?

Enjoy the last March thaw
The first robin’s
Call?

Or will I arrive in Hell…
Or at heaven’s
Door?

I’ll find out soon
Sure…There’s no doubt
Of that

And if for me
Another Spring
Is to be

I will treasure it
With relish and
Then …again wonder

What’s to come after Spring?
Will there be
any thing?

Will I be allowed
Another…
Summer?
