That Old Mill
by Richard L. Provencher

is alive in the light of day, harsh
wind grabbing your windpipe
breath of winter-chill,
icicle eyes staring dimly
at the scene---

parade of pussy willows
straddling the river.
Within view an ancient mill,
exterior dulled
by a passage in time.

Once, a photo album of deer
within shadows,
cows flicking horse flies
kids painting the barn,
three dogs chasing---

childhood and splashing
in the creek. Pages from life
a long time ago.

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
