Been There Done That

(Coming Back Home) Crimson sunsets trickled beyond the moor Opulence of one’s youth a mindset forever stays, Miracle of homely birthplace the lure Inspired by non-forgotten special days. Neon lights above the door lost their glitter Garish gowns grew tired torn and tatty, Bothersome marriage a divorce turned bitter Asylum that sends a sane person batty. Calling out aloud in hope a childhood listens Kindred spirit says let the passing of time begin, Heart and mind to put behind all that glistens Oh, and the carousel of show biz and the spin. Memories are many so are the steps to climb Epic journey the apex or slippery slope for a dime. © Harry J Horsman 2021
