The Road to Nevermore

The hourglass betrayed 

The youth that once was mine

My brittle bones decayed

Through the ravages of time

A cruel and cold embrace 

Is what I have in store

A traveler to face

The road to nevermore

No mercy once begun

This weary winter's frost

Those days spent in the sun

Are now forever lost

Alas, the cold, cruel passage of time, only made bearable by the poet's rhyme. Huzzah, Randy! ~ Gershon
