Poem Title:
Poem
Who in the heck am I now? I used to know Not so long ago But who the heck am I now? The days have changed me Rearranged me I barely know myself now I still look the same (mostly) But I’m not… (except in name) I know I’ve changed (but how?) I now own a complete Absence of artifice A sense of humility Now resides in it’s place I’m not the least bit dismayed By my lines and wrinkles displayed Proudly I wear them On this world weary face I know that no longer Am I the man I once was I know it yet don’t know just how The changes seem glacial Not confined to things facial So just who the heck Am I now? Oftimes this ol’ world Can both amaze and amuse me Delight and affright Dumbfound and confuse me The young man I once was Long ago ceased to be So who and what am I now A man is like the seasons e’er changing… Is the reason Of course that’s only how I view the way of things But we only see the changing skin And not the change that resides within The mind that morphs And then takes wing… It all has naught to do With good or bad Of right or wrong Or sad or glad The mystery lies More in the how and why That I’ve become the man I am now… I’ve no way of knowin’ The where and the why Nor any idea of the how… I just know that tomorrow Be it a day of delight or sorrow I’ll not be the man …That I am right now…
