Epitaph For a Dreamer
Don't wait for me! I’m flying breathlessly to find
The days I spent in search of summer skies
Or lying stung by fate and hopelessly resigned
To dire eternity, upon the Bridge of Sighs.
Don’t be distressed! I longed to vanish long ago,
Upon a gale of wind across the sea of time.
I thought that frank and dauntless youth could overthrow
The faded world and its inept design.
Don’t linger here! Though I am roaming far away,
I am forever close and walk with you through life.
Think not too much of me, enjoy the passing day,
But raise a glass to me when joy is rife.
