The Park

The Park Have we met before In a long time past when I was young and full of promise I think I saw you in a Park at night sitting on a bench alone and the light from a lamp reflected on your hair giving off a golden glint you had a very pleasant face then you looked at me what appeared as deep dark eyes as a hint to beckon me to come and say Hello I wasn't ready to say hello The tide of time moved forward and I played the rogue traveling miles around the world In seeking life's pleasures avoiding She with the glint in her hair in all the worlds Parks Now I am ancient My life has been vamped with just my memories to support me and life has lost its substance I'm alone in a vacuum I will see you in a Park And I'm ready to say Hello The Park Contest Sponsored by Craig Cornish Ralph Sergi February 18. 2016
