Poem
As he walks on by, leaving you to wonder. Walking home on a Saturday night, I saw a spaceship flying so high. I tipped my hat and turned my back and I continued to walk on by. You see I have already seen this, inside a memory inside my mind. I have had this thought a million times, so I just let it pass on by. A light burns in the distance, As a comet flies through the Heaven’s above! I cast a glance, a peek perhaps; nothing more than a quick look. You see I have seen it all before, a thousand times or more And all the wonder has disappeared, along with all the fun. Other people do not believe in me; They say I just tell fantastic stories that I create. They tell me that I should just write a book of fantasy, But I have never created a page, That could ever shine as bright, As the idea’s that you will find along the way. Another morning after; I awake with another story to tell. They tell me that they are tired of the tales that I weave And that they are no longer under my spell. But that has never been my objective; I never tried to change the way you see. A thousand non-believers have nothing to give, To a wondering mind that has already been. I want to believe in my own ideals And follow a thought until the end. They can disbelieve and question my words, But they can never stop me from attempting to make new friends. Maybe I can also speak the truth too; Maybe not all I say is a lie. Maybe one day you will see me disappear inside a cloud, After a thunderous flash of light. I have travelled over the oceans and I have walked under a moon. I never thought to take you with me, Because I thought that you already knew, That I am just a traveller And I am passing through your time. Maybe next time I am passing through, I will try to drop you a line. I would have liked to have taken you with me, But it would have taken all of your hope. If you believe enough in me, who knows? We will see; Maybe I could find a way to offer you a saving rope. A way for me to lift your heart, when you are falling down. I want to raise all of your spirits And show you the universe, before I leave this town. Some people say I never existed; Some say I must have been a ghost. The only man I truly knew, is unknown to you, But he is the one I admire the most. Some people tell my story, without ever knowing of his; But I could never write an autobiography, Without an acknowledgement of his tragedy. I am living in his shadow, I have his memories inside. I see an image of the man that I could have been, But I must leave his body now and return to my life. I’m heading off into the blue now; I’m leaving you all behind. I have left you with a memory… As I leave you all to be mankind. I’m leaving you all to wonder, Who was the man that was talking that night? And as I turn the corner, I climb into my flying saucer And I fly up into the sky. (C)2017 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
