Fate Graces Me Now, a Rainbow Filling Up My Sky

Fate Graces Me Now, A Rainbow Filling Up My Sky Softly slumbering in the shadows of my sad past until mercifully forced opened eye at last. Revising all the sweet memories filling my heart fearful that these too may someday depart! As I roam forth in the midst of never ending time my imagined glories, are they worth a dime? Is it too late? Basking in glow of setting sun Will I find, imagined victories were falsely won? The long nights with lovers I imagined very fine were dreams enlarged to fit a pleasing frame. Hot love, meals on which I did so eagerly dine nothing more that foolish romantic games! Nay, dare not think such a sad, terrible thought pierce my side, just to see if I am dead. Such are not sweet fantasies my desires bought or foolish, mad ramblings resting in my head. Looking back, time so clearly shows those gems images my Life declares lovingly true. Like gold laced borders on royal garments hems each one of a majestic colorful hue. Fate graces me now, a rainbow filling up my sky I dared not to dream of such in my old age. He never succeeds that dares not to ever try to live is to gamble, says the bearded sage! Robert J. Lindley, 09-25-2015
