Disappearing Ship With Shadow At the Prow

Disappearing Ship With Shadow At The Prow I sit with setting sun in evening twilight gold and orange rays vanishing now On comes the mysteries of this lonely night disappearing ship with shadow at the prow The night breeze so cool and silently calm churning waters flow by with ease Hardened heart like callouses on my palm this dark time suddenly sets to please Sailing on into each new imaginitive realm constant pain tags doggedly along Captain of my fate stirs slowly at the helm past spirits sing their soulful song I sleep deeper into this long flowing dream ages fly by in streaks of enlightening rays Serenity and solitude blessings of this stream ship protected as its kneeling captain prays Robert J. Lindley, 12/28/2014 Note- Reflections of a life now gone and future time that must be wisely used. No time for wasting efforts or foolish wants. The mountains I sought to demolish stand as sentinels to the futile vanity of a man and his ego... Amazing how things work. I've been in a dump for weeks now and suddenly one comment gave me cause to reflect and write this poem. Thank you Arthur Vaso....
