Used To

I used to walk By the side of the beach And feel the wind on my face And the waves lapping at my feet And the sunset in all its splendour Pinks and reds and oranges and yellows The strokes of the Creator's paintbrush Swept across the sky's canvas With the white sprinkles of twinkling stars And the priceless glowing sphere of gold Sinking over the horizon I used to walk Through the gardens of old And hear the slight rustle of bushes And the chirping of birds And feel peace of heart and mind And see the bliss combinations of flowers Roses and Violets and Marygolds Carnations and columbines And breathe in the scent of purified joy I used to do so many things Go so many places Not anymore Now I wait And wait And wait Wait Wait Wait Waiting For the rest of my life
