Esplanade of Past Future

Hope was mistaken 
The destiny is sure 
By age all I had was taken 
The quest hast always pure;
As isolated as the ruins of Babylon 
Tunes I heard was immature-couldn’t dance 
Whispered a voice give up not! Carry on
And all desired now in abundance,
Most times we need not what we need
And time only shall tell 
Attain not what’s destined with greed
Alas! Humility is appreciated ..all is well;
Today is just yesterdays 
Life not a dream we’ve come to stay
Real you yet on the way 
O! to regret nothing-in my bed in peace I lay.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
