Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

From Pinnacle To Cynical

From Pinnacle to Cynical 

When we were young
We had our dreams
But, in our future we would find
That many times along the way
There were mountains, we must climb
But with the strength  
That comes with youth
We foiled every peril 
And hiked the broadways to the top
Until the path got narrow
Yes, in our way, we reached the top
And then became quite cynical 
For our decline, we could not stop
In descending from that pinnacle 
It matters not, how far we reached
Upon life's twisted routes and bends 
It's knowing that we've seen the summit
And that our journey, must slow, then end
                                                   By JTCurtis

James Horn September 1, 2017 at 3:56 PM It is interesting how we only start out at beginnings and end up at endings. Parallel lines never meet and we always sit down on a seat. More poems writing after sailing and fresh air we were inhaling. Sometimes broken rule bend; After having to make an amend; Finally we would have to submit so we could see someone else's summit.
