Nowhere Men

Nowhere Men

Roads have been long ones, for many an old man
who traversed every path, without having a plan.

Always flying, vicariously, by the seat of our pants.
Fighting many a battle, never in states of rants.

We just bears it, and carry on with the good fight
as our days, on gossamer wings, take flight

into accepting that journey, into that good night
as we wonder, ponder all that laid before our sight.

Jr. Atfield Date: 8/21/2017 1:07:00 PM Hello Phil Capitlano : Thank you Phil, for taking a minute to read my stuff and for the comments “ So true old man, ”, “ good one William. ” . As for “ nose to the grindstone... ”, Phil, with little to say these days, a busy life {{ filming for Access TV and Tri Cities Community Television }} for a tired old man (( 75 in three months )) and with little interest and observation, times are a changing and so may I . Having read some of your poems “ Roses On The Moon ”, “ MOUNTAIN ”, “ TO CIARA: RULES FOR LOVING ” I think that we may have traversed similar paths, are helpless romantics. After reading the artistic, expressed quality of your poems Phil, I now think, more than ever that “ with little interest and observation, times are a changing and so may I . ” I should follow this path .
