Jerry T Curtis Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Contest

Intro

This year has ended
And found me deeper in debt
A couple more gray hairs
And a handful of regrets

It ended and it seemed 
Just a little colder
And looking in the mirror
I look a tad bit older

That little ache I had
Has now become a pain
And resolutions made last year
I'll visit once again


Chorus
But I'm not worried
Because I'll start something new
Not living in the passed
And do what I must do
Looking only forward
Though coming from behind
Not thinking getting older
Just ageing like fine wine

instrumental 

It ended and it seemed 
Just a little colder
And looking in the mirror
I look a tad bit older

That little ach I had
Has now become a pain
And resolutions made last year
I'll visit once again


Chorus
But I'm not worried
Because I'll start something new
Not living in the passed
And do what I must do
Looking only forward
Though coming from behind
Not thinking getting older
Just ageing like fine wine




Life
I've studied all religions
From sea to shining sea 
Look into intuition 
And old philosophies 
I've Always been A seeker
 of what I thought was truth
I know you think with all those studies
Something would take root

Sitting 'round campfires
While reeding, I'm  from Mars
Dreaming about my Venus
And commuting with stars
I have to admit my friends
Didn't think it 'Couth"
But That's how I spent my time
When I was a youth

Chorus
I spent my life meditating
Sitting lotus style and contemplating
And looking for the piece, this puzzle would fit
Always looking toward tomorrow, Before I lived my day in sorrow
Realizing ---Boy--
"This Is It"



As a destination
But recently did another
Calculation 
The  answer I have found is
 "This is it"


But now I'm older and I see
What I've been seeking 
is the inner me
And that I've been 
here all along
