Within Reach
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 beachfront.
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;
Reinforces my plan for 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.
