Epitaph For a Dreamer

Don't wait for me! I’m flying breathlessly to find The days I spent in search of summer skies Or lying stung by fate and hopelessly resigned To dire eternity, upon the Bridge of Sighs. Don’t be distressed! I longed to vanish long ago, Upon a gale of wind across the sea of time. I thought that frank and dauntless youth could overthrow The faded world and its inept design. Don’t linger here! Though I am roaming far away, I am forever close and walk with you through life. Think not too much of me, enjoy the passing day, But raise a glass to me when joy is rife.
