Journey of My Life Thus Far
In place of bookmarks or
turning the corner of the
many empty pages of my
autobiography
I so wish to fill in to
commemorate the journey
and story of my life thus far
I choose to use
crestfallen autumnal leves
i saved since last september
Best described as colour
fired desert opal grapefruit
colour red
And along my merry way
to both humour me and
provide me joy
I keep a dictionary by my side
for constant companionship
So if cometh the day
if i shall ever was to be asked
to regail my story unto another
passing stranger by
Not of where i am going
but rather where i have
been and thing's
that i have seen
I manage to get my
message across in the
most eloquent of my ways
And somehow make my
dull and somewhat dreary
life appear as it has never
been viewed before
Not simply a librarian but
as a published author instead
Worthy of gracing the page's
of any brittle leather bound
antiquity 1st edition fairytale
Adorned with such illuminating
word's its left entirely up to the
imagination of the said readers
mind
The picture he or she wishes
to paint and journey to explore
