Poem Title:
Poem
I'm looking into a mirror at the age in my eyes And the lines on a battle scarred face Wondering where it all went Children have grown and time has taken its toll But the dreams never die and I feel a joy in knowing That while death is a worthy adversary and will win in the end Some have never lived It doesn't seem so distant that a cowboy walked down the street Plastic handles on the pistols A back in the saddle again mindset And dreams of heroic maiden saving feats Dominated the thoughts of a little boy While the ocean called his name and new passions arose Oh the maidens! A pirate at times But laughter and good times were ongoing Never really facing the inevitable fate of one's own mortality And life was to be led for the moment A walk down the streets of Cobh A smile from a young woman in Stavanger Bracing for cold in the air in Vaernes But sweltering in the warmth of the Norwegian people GOD Would I do it again From Christmas in Barcelona to a late spring adventure In the back room of a bar on the French Riviera You can take all that I acquired but leave my memories Of that Sunday in Edinburgh and the castle in Patras The arms of a dark haired beauty in Athens And the grace of her charms in Genoa In review I felt the joys and sorrows Triumphs and defeats Happiness and anguish but without regret Should we choose anew I would return Until the time approached again For review.
