Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Time That Has Been Mine

I find that as I stroll along
                                 I fall into reflection
A wading pond of memories
                      So fond of memories am I

Each step, an effervescent whim
             through time that has been mine
Each shine that has been mine
                                        comes to fore

And as a kitten scurries on
                           to comfort of the shade
My thoughts are a parade
                    that wants to take me home

For like a page with splendid rhyme
                               just falling into place
It’s such a sugared space
                   This time that has been mine
