Within Reach
Follow the sun as it settles down,
Past buildings, fields, and vacant lots
On a road that runs through our town,
And ends at the harbour’s beach front.
I see in the eyes of them that age,
As I stroll the cemented sidewalk;
And sense their urgency to explain,
But step aside to avoid their talk.
As their hearts and souls aspirate,
Incapable to comprehend
Reinforce my plans of escape,
To enjoy being young while I can.
There within reach the need to proceed,
Drives’ me to seek my journey’s goal.
To go back now would admit defeat;
Youth recedes like the waves of the ocean.
