No Return

Listen to the school bell Ring Distant plaintive Wail Beyond anything the mind can Comprehend And return to a deserted field Where spirited girls and boys Once played Before Becoming mature Women and men When I hear the laughter Childish screams And ghostly Cheers I can feel a world at Peace Overcoming my Fears Of a future without Love And the solitude I Chose Of a future without Birth And the terminus Imposed Didn’t I hear a sprightly piano Plinking through a Window Near that faded School yard? Reminds me of you Bright girly radiance Dressed in Black Leotard Dancing all the time We were carefree Back then Before the days of Wrinkled Women Defeated Silver Men Can I return to that time With my old soccer ball? Play with young spirits Long passed away Can I redo the errors Stamped upon my life? Recapture Lost hopes Yesterday That’s a sharp School bell Ring Distant plaintive wail Beyond anything the mind can Comprehend But there’s no return To a deserted field Where spirited girls and boys Once played Before Becoming mature Women and men There’s no return to The beginning No return When you’ve Reached The End
