Late Afternoon Musing

Lying here safe from 
the 
   hear in my air conditioned 
room
  Mind drifts to olden 
times
  When song filled the air
    And a goblet of wine 
was enough 
   Passing by known and 
unknown forests and streams
  Our light has not dimmed
Since the days when sailing ships 
left for distant 
shores
  Came back loaded with 
gold and spices 
Imagination has its own rewards
  We needn't worry 
that our questions 
  will be without answers
