Notes About The Poem
-------------------
Ah it was a grand life
Searching
Living in shadows of times gone by
Are they real or just imagination
They flit by unable to be caught
Just like watching a flickering film.
There one moment gone the next
I see visons of days in Africa
Hot dreams of things that once
were every day happing's.
Like going on safari
hearing lions roaring
deep and gruff so close
You felt that you could touch them.
Swimming in the ocean
so clear one could see the bottom
fish flashing by through seaweed
fat slugs and blue jelly fish.
Nights that were nearly bright
as day time just a bit spooky
Shadows all around you
things flashing by.
Four a clock in morning
walking my dog and a tribe
of neighbours dogs that
joined us they were a pack.
That I had very little control
over, enemies at all other times
but woe betide any thing they met
they went like a pack for them.
These are just some of memories
taken from the distant past
I treasure these thoughts
of days long gone by.
